long time no see

I will get back to you tmro, but a couple of quick answears, wheels are ansmann or kyosho, this time of year yellow mini spikes on the front with yellow or green mini spikes if wet. or a set of balistic buggy spikes work well in anyting but dry conditions.

as for shocks, are they the rtr/kit shocks?
I would upgrade the idlers in the gear box straight away, i think AMC still has some.

Hi Dave what oil weight front and rear is best for the grass?

Hi Dave what oil weight front and rear is best for the grass?
It's the kit shocks

[racingdwarf]

Hmmm, well could start at 35w front and 30w rear and see how that goes,are these the metal shocks or the kit plastic ones?

The kit plastic,

You won't be far off with using 25wt or 30wt in the rears and 5wt thicker in the fronts. It's a pretty standard amount to start with in off road.
