What shock oil?

[Lanfire]

Hey guys, was wondering since buying my km it didn't come with any shock oil and was wondering what was the best suggested oil to use?.

Cheers guys,
Daz

15wt motorbike fork oil with 16 hole shock pistons worked well for me..1ltr for about £8

10wt with 12 hole in rear, 40wt in front.

I like 40wt best.

Cheers guys, but is this all round?... My mate who has a hpi 5sc is running 5wt front & 40wt rear. I thought since mine is the ksrc-002 buggy

40 wt in the rear works nice

10wt with 12 hole in rear, 40wt in front.

Can someone explain to me what does the hole means?

Number of holes in the shock piston.
Bigger the hole / more the holes, the easier the oil can flow / less resistance.
Smaller the hole / fewer the holes, the harder the oil can flow / more resistance.
