Run of thumb to start is 400 with 2 hole pistons and 600 with 3 hole pistons for any of Tamiya's touring cars.

I am running a TA-05 V2 in a silver can class on high-grip indoor asphalt track. I use the kit shocks, 3 hole pistons, & 40 WT. I have a little more roll than I want so I may move up to 60 WT, which would be right inline with the rule of thumb posted by racecrafter.

400cps is around 35WT, here is a useful site to convert from cps to wt and viceversa: http://www.offroad-cult.org/Special/...umrechnung.php

I like to run the same weight oil all around. I normally run 40-45wt on my TA05.
