As far as I know there are only two lengths, Medium (Front) & Long (Rear), unless you are counting the TC one's as Short which are no use for off-road.

I'm not sure which springs come in the kit, sorry.

Last year I used Losi Oil as it was what I've always been used to, however I will probably be changing to Schumacher oil in the near future.

One thing to note is that the Schumacher Oil is slightly different to the Losi, I've found that a rough equivalence is:

Losi = Sch
20 = 20
25 = 25
27.5 = 30
30 = 35
32.5 = 40
35 = 45
37.5 = 50
40 = 55
45 = 60

wow that's a lot difference between them.
I use the Ultimate oil... is this the same as Losi or also a rough equivalence?

thx

The steps in the oil grades are actually pretty close between the brands, it's just the labelling system, which isn't really consistent between any two brands.

I'm not sure on ultimate oil.
