LOL I found it had not enough pack. As did several other drivers who drove the car or watched it. But as you say, it's all personal preferance.
I've checked my oils and I was correct in what I said. I used AE oils which aren't to far off the Losi equivalents although it does say AE 27.5 is 30 Losi on the chart
.....
When I used the drilled pistons I think I had Kyosho oil. 500 front and 400 rear, and then went up at the rear, but didn't feel right for me.
Anyway back to the point. I would try the car with kit and drilled pistons and find which ones you prefer. Once you drilled though you can't go back without havng some more pistons. Go with the weights the guys suggest for drilled and try the slightly heavier weights I suggested for kit. My set up appears to use quite light oils but the car does feel nice and alive and it's about what most mid motors use (Plus it's getting cold out at the moment!!)
Once your happy with your shocks not a lot else changes (unless you run the alloy option parts). You can keep the same set up and just concentrate on putting the car around the track and beating everyone

Kiddie was slick the weekend and the car had so much traction I kept running into the back of people when I accelerated, as they couldn't. If only I'd drove around them instead I could have had some good rounds.
