i have posted in the main section but value club members advice..

Losi 22 rear shox, yellow springs and 55 pistons. So far in general this is all good! but what oil? this is where the dilema is...i have been told everything from 32 to 35 to 45 etc.....i am making changes to the front and going to replace the 45 oil in the fronts with 32-35....springs and piston is good.

fire away guys....

What handling issues are you trying to rectify?
For DMS I would go for thinner oil in the rear than you have been trying.
Probably 27.5 or 30 weight oil worth a try for more rear traction.

If you can get hold of a range of oils, you should have a play this evening being more of a test session evening! :thumbsup:

I tend to be around 2.5-5wt difference front and rear, it's a different car admittedly but its been around that for most of my set ups over the years. Take a look at shock mounting positions too, always worth playing about with.

The proof is in the testing! :p
