so tell me what do you use?

[baronvonmookyheisen]

got my buggy today


WOW WHAT A SPANKING MACHINE


iam very pleased with it


BUT


it has a very 1/8 orientated set up so i have decided that maybe its a good idea to change the shock and diff oils


but the big question is WHAT DO YOU GUYS USE???


do you run stock settings?


have you weighted the gear oils differently?


what shock oil weights do you run?


sorry to ask all of these questions but i want to get it right so that when it is unveiled on the track it will not only look sweet but perform as well


thanks


in advance

Don't know what the real racer's are doing but I'm using 50,000 in the rear and 130,000 in the front. 40 weight shock oil. These are both silicone and I'm sure in number values you don't use in the UK

I am running the same for shocks but am much lighter on the difs. I like difs to have lots of action in offroad,

ONLY DRIVEN MY RAMPAGE A FEW TIMES and I LOVE IT, it SH*TS all over my hpi baja,


so far everything is fine and stock settings are good for general bashing

As far as dif oils, cps is the same all over and most companies use cps for dif oils. it's shock oils that make no sense. this explains most oils on the market and what the numbers mean. I mix my own often and use these charts to get what I need figured out
