looking good
Does anyone know, which oil viscosities should have same dampening effect as tamiya fricton damper greases soft, medium and hard?

I was wondering the same thing so I went and looked at the manual of the RC10F6 to see what they are using. In that manual they use 10K. So I would say that is a good place to start.
i did like the p-one tires, but on black carpet with aggressive turns (high speed 180s) it ripped 2 sets of rears on the sidewall. i've let the guys know, but i've bought a set of hudy wheels/tires to try now.
BUT, I have found that somehow they work differently than oil of similar/same viscosity.
Somehow it dampens more but allows similar roll. I really like it.

The body looks great and I love that it is made specifically for the AE F6. I am curious where the front nose hangs on a wing other than the stock wing. When mounting a Protoform wing on the front with the existing body, the nose hung quite a bit over the front edge.

Thanks. I have them (tamiyas), just trying to find out oils with similar dampening effect.

I find that the silicone oil will shear if you move the tubes fast enough. Ive used 500k or 1mill oils and they feel completely different if you move them slowly or really fast. The Tamiya friction grease although only comes in 3 viscosity, are more consistent and they do not leak.
We've got an unexpected feedback over the "Slim" F1 Chassis series and we strive to push as much as possible to listen for the requests we got.
First batch is ready!
2.5mm "Fenix Racing" carbon fibre, layed in a quasi isotropic way.
Improved torsion for a wider range of use, from low grip to high grip.
Chassis footprint has been trimmed down to the max to reduce track scrub and allow more softer setup
Available for Xray X1 (17/16/15) - Yokomo - Associated - Fenix

Can anybody please explain how the angle of the rear damper/spring affects the handling of the car?
Damper more flat = ?
Damper more higher in the rear = ?

Angled forward will give more steering
Also the height of the rear shock can act as a roll center adjustment

Can you explain more on how??
