You'll have to speak to ye olde Haggis and ask him what oil to run with the X6, and if we need to put any limiters in the shocks before we build em on Friday mate

Should be along the lines of 40wt, red pistons, blue springs on the front and 30wt, orange pistons and pink springs for the rear

Losi shock oil set (20 upto 50) arrived today so I'll start with 25 you reckon in the rear. Going to go Rudebits kit as well though will that matter.

Tony if your reading this have you got one there ready for posting buddy ?

Of coarse a Phat Bodies Zen bodyshell and front wing makes all the difference

If that is the setup you had on your squared that'll be why it understeered like a pig!

Change ride height, move front axles down and move rear shocks to inside hole on wishbone if tracion is low. Maybe 25 weight rear oil if traction is very low.
