Post shock oil grade

I want to change the shock oil for something thicker to stop the chassis slapping on the ground.
Does anyone know what grade of oil comes with the kit so i have a base to work from.

What grade are most people using?

Cool

be interesting to see how it handles with 40.

Also just read radio race car magazine and they reviewed the B-MAX said thay were using 30 at the front and 35 at the back but felt the back was still a bit soft so will go with your sugestion, but will try 35 at front and 40 at back.

They also said that they moved the rear shock at the top to the outer position and this stiffened it up a bit so will try that also.

thanks for the reply.
