1/8th scale oils

[dizzyinzo]

well i am getting me a rc8 soon. and i have no idea on where to even start with diff oils and shock oils. could some one help me out?

[shnebo]

a good starting point for diff oils is 5000wt in the front and center and 2000 in the rear

and for shocks for more bashing or all around set up, 35 up front 30 in the rear, I'd say

ok it sounds like i need to go the shop and buy 3-5kdiff and 6-8k and then maybe 30-50 shock

[shnebo]

Yeah that should be good and then u can try new setups

[dizzyinzo]

well i guess thats what ill be doing. is the difference in brands matter?

[shnebo]

i have mugen diff oils and losi shock oils. ive always used those two but i dont think it matters.

50 may be a bit thick, depending what size holes you have on your pistons, usually people use anywhere from 25 to 40 for racing.

Mostly trial and error until you get a good feel

Mugen oils are imo the best. For shocks 400cst/350cst mugen in front and 350cst/300cst mugen rear. This isnt weight but cst. Then for diffs a good base set up is 5,7,3
