Shock oil for Golds on an Optima Pro and hard dirt track?

Got a suggestion from a buddy who had run a Lazer on that track before with velvet shocks. He had run 600cst front and 400cst rear.

Would that be something that might work for my case as well?

After getting my optima mid off the cabinet last weekend for some backyard track action, I noticed that one of the rear shocks became unscrewed and leaked out all of the remaining shock oil. I was wondering if there is comparable shock oil to the...

Last post

I had that in mind in terms of the 30wt. oil figured it was the safest bet other than purchasing ultra scarce 25-year old silicone oil. Everything looks ok, but I might just try to change out the o-rings. I wonder if these new style ones are the...

Does anyone feels like the rear shocks on the optima/javelin rere should have a thiker oil? I finished building my car and when I drop it on the table from about 20cm, the rear bottom bangs on the table. I filled the shocks according to...

Last post

Thicker oil or piston rings with smaller/fewer holes, either will help. You may need stronger springs to make sure the shocks fully decompress after changing those items.

If the oil is too thick or the piston holes too small, you'll probably get...

I just scored this on the 'Bay...I hope I'm not mistaken, but isn't this comparable to the OT-76 Hard Final Pinion Gear? I confirmed with some searching that it's made out of steel.

Part # 4738 info:

Last post

Just a quick confirmation--received the gear today, it's an exact match for the stock OT-41 gear. It's made of steel however, and is significantly heavier than the stock aluminum gear. As OT-76 hard final pinion gears are few and far between (and...

Needing Shock Oil , mostly for T3s and other AE (MGT, DS, yada, yada), but also own Traxxas (Rustlers, Street Sports, REVO). So, what do we get? Can one be used in place of the other, and maybe not be vice versa?
I know its not a vintage question,...

There isn't a fluid on earth that doesn't change viscosity with temperature change.

But shear thinning is a whole different thing :D

I have just picked up a YZ-10 for resale. Actually in pretty good condition. Sounds like most of the shock oil is still in them but I would like to take them off, clean them up, and refill them with some fresh oil. I have had a few before but don't...

Hello everyone

What shock oil weight came with the cadillac era gold pan car? I'm restoring one, but don't want to use exactly what came in the kit, but something close to it. I'm thinking it's somewhere between 30-40 wt, but I'm not certain. I've...

Last post

I'll keep an eye on them - thanks. If they do happen to do that over time, then I'll get a full set of TRF silicone o-rings to eliminate that problem.

First post

I decided to take a break from the RC-10's and build up a T-MAXX from my parts. I was just wondering what you guys think is a good medium weight for the original shocks?

Last post

The stock oil is supposedly 30wt, but I would say more like 20-25. I would go with 30-35wt. Associated oil.

Love this guys videos. He has some great tear downs of tools.
His latest has him using some Losi shock oil.

I am guessing he discovered this when he was working on this video for kinetic sand creation.
