What shock oil do you use?
 
What shock oil do you use?

And why?

Dudders 16-02-2011 01:36 PM

Factory Team as its what the shop stock.

simoncrabb 16-02-2011 01:38 PM

Poll!

Darren Boyle 16-02-2011 01:38 PM

Hiro Seiko - because its the best value on the market for cost effective racing :thumbsup:

or

Losi - because it is colour coded, used on LOTS of set up sheets by top drivers, a large range from 10wt to 100wt, and the bottles are conveniently numbered on top for easy indentifacation in the pit box too :thumbsup:

janus_77 16-02-2011 01:39 PM

Losi, because the newer AE bottles suck :(

simoncrabb 16-02-2011 01:39 PM

Hey, is the latest Losi oil still colour coded?

Darren Boyle 16-02-2011 01:41 PM

Yes mate, except that all of the "half weights" are clear as is 30wt, but all others are coloured still

simoncrabb 16-02-2011 01:42 PM

Ohh, that'll be it, half weights are clear.

Matt-h 16-02-2011 01:43 PM

AE Factory Team - because its used on B4 & B44 set-ups.

Thinking of changing to Losi as its coloured though.

Matt

Darren Boyle 16-02-2011 01:45 PM

Which agreed the halfs are used more and more nowadays but the rest are still OK

Blue - 20wt
Green - 25wt
Clear - 30wt (and all half weights too)
Orange - 35wt
Purple - 40wt
and so on........

What's wrong with the new bottles?

Martijn 16-02-2011 02:06 PM

I had a problem with them, I pressed too hard and the cap shot out, and everywhere shock oil.
But I still use the associateds

Looked at at Petit, but who sells it in the UK?

Neil Skull 16-02-2011 02:16 PM

The Silicone is likely similar quaility for all but the accuracy of the viscosity is the problem.

Only one on your poll has some good accurate viscosity ratings!!!!

No guessing which i use and is the best:thumbsup:
