Hello!
Which is your setup for front/rear shocks?
I found the original oil is too light...
Oil numbers can be
30-40-50...
or
300-400-500...
The one shipped with kyosho iol shocks is 300 = #30... while I think it would be better a 45 or 50... which one do you use?
And what about those plastic rings you can add? I'm using "10" on rear and "5" on front... I'd like to know if anyone can explain in a "simple" way (I'm a beginner :) ) causes - effects about those settings (for example: weighter oil = ...)
Thanks!

According to some RC rally car experts. They told me to use 50 front and 40 rear combination for rally racing. Make sure the rear is softer than front for better handling in corner. I think this apply to onroad car as well.
