I have 100 Schumacher shock oil in the rears and ultimate racing 5.000 pure silicone diff oil in fronts. Works a treat on indoor carpeted track with few little jumps.

4 x 1mm holes in shock pistons front and back

if you are going big bore, you'll need the big boy shock towers.

the 3 racing ones leak all of the time, so either get some carisma gt14b shocks (if they fit) or use the Losi Mini lST shocks.

i used the MLST shocks on mine, no leaks, ae 30wt all round, green springs front and silver rear. awesome.

i just got back from the meeting,
i was using the Mini inferno shocks with home made shock towers, i found that it the best it as yet, i was only running 2hole pistons so tryied 2000wt diff oil in front and 70 in rear with standard black springs, i dont think 2 heat wins out 3 and 2nd in first heat. bd thing is a got a DNF in final but we all cant be nicked named chapman lol

just a update, i just got home from racing and its not been to bad, 3 heat wins out of 3 then TQ and winner in A- final to,
so i have to say i think its just about set up now, little things to sort out but its so much easier to drive now :)

so thanks guys :thumbsup:
