Default 210 rtr shock oil

Hi all,

A guy noticed at the club last night that my shocks weren't full of oil. To be honest I took the car out of the box and drove it. He recommended Losi 35 weight in the front and 30 rear. Sound ok? Or should I use Durango stuff?

It's indoor high grip carpet by the way.

Cheers!

Sounds a bit thin with the stock six hole pistons, I would start at 35 rear and 45 up front, depends a lot on how you want your ride. When the speed picks up you will probably want to go a bit stiffer on the springs and even heavier oil up front.

Best thing to do is have a look at the set up sheets on the team durango website to see what brands of oil are being used and pick the most popular and then stick with it. The most important thing is to try and stick with one brand.

I was talking losi oils, since that was what you were referring to, just make sure you stick with the same brand so that you know the changes when you change your oils.

This chart is a good companion if you happen to be swtching between brands or want to translate someone else's set up:
