I run mine quite soft so 30W oil front and back. Can probably go up a bit. Some guys run up to 60W in the front. I've got rid of the Tamiya shocks and now use 3Racing shocks which in my opinion is a billion times better.
The kickup mod is where you remove the front kickup plate and then remove the 3 plastic lugs that are mounted on the chassis (simply snip them off using some flush cutters). That allows the front kickup plate to sit closer to the chassis and increase the kickup angle. I also had to dremel away a bit of the chassis to help the front A-arms clear (otherwise they bottom out before the chassis does!). It imporves the car no end.
