I have been working on my ST most of the day repairing it from Wednesday's rear pivot plate breakage. I rob people to pay Paul by taking the one off my Short course truck which is in the XXX family. I order 2 more plates to replace the one I took to have a extra one. The one off my SCT is a bit thicker and has ridges that re-enforces it making it much more stronger.. Anyways was wondering what "if anyone wouldn't mine saying" what shock oil weight are most of you guys using in your trucks, since most of you Stadium Truck guys are TLR 22t owners.. I have 3 hole pistons in mine and put 27.5 but it seem a bit thin.. Would 30 or 35 be good for rear shocks??? Would appreciate any help, thanks!!!

I'm running 27.5 all the way around. That's what the book called for as a base setup. The trucks aren't very heavy so it really shouldn't take a heavy oil to dampen the suspension. Are you running bladder or emulsion shocks? If they are bladders you may try emulsion and see if that smooths it out

I have an old style Losi XXXT-CR, but come to think of it I don't recall a bladder in there shocks, I have 3 hole pistons in mine. My Losi may be a bit heavier than the 22T's I have my threaded shock extended all the way down, and it seems weak in the rear... I was thinking about going with 30/35 front and rears |

I weight the ESC, zero the scale, then use the PT and RX and add weight until it zeros out and place that weight on the rx side, then share the rest evenly. *****MF2 plastic hubs with quick change adapters**** Be sure to use XXX axle and narrow the quick change adapters .100" for the correct track width.
