Any idea what is the shock oil rating in the kit? I seem to have found 900 but that seems a bit too hard to be cst. What does that mean in cst?

The clear is 900 - meant for the diff.

The yellow is 400 - meant for the shocks.

Mine didn't have any yellow, that is why I was confused.

tamiya oils are all color coded, and that yellow one is supposed to be in the shock part bag, so maybe they screwed up
Not sure if the cst rating is the actual number for the corresponding color, but 400 is a little thin when all the setups use 450-500 with kit pistons.

That's a big assumption... If your reviewing the Team Setups few state what exact piston is used

As said, should be in the shock back. Contact the store you got it from if you really want it.

Most would buy the kit and never use it though. Bit of a token gesture in a pro level kit.

hmm, at least the ones in petit only state 3 hole. did I miss something?

I actually realised I asked this in the 417 thread, but makes more sense here in terms of helping people I think.

Got here yesterday. 2 weeks, could be worse!

So a legit, cheap and reliable source. Excellent.

Further to above, looks like a new Tamiya part is also out now....

IMO, yes you did... 3 hole x what size? Tamiya kit is 1.0mm dia. Yok, Xray, TOP, HB use a variety of holes and sizes for kit pistons. Many of the Teams swap out pistons, from 3 x 1.0mm, 3 x 1.6mm, to 6 x 1.0mm depending on the track conditions.

Just trying to point out that one can't assume the posted Team Setup's are 100% accurate. They aren't lying, just missing information...(deliberately or not, who's to know) haha.

Yeah, I suspect a factory screw up. NO problem, I don't really use Tamiya oils anyway, just wanted to know.

I have noticed most setups use Muchmore oils, which is fine. I use Associated, seems to be the oil local shops stock in a large range and at all times.

I wondered about pistons as well because I also noticed there is no mention in setup sheets, but I am not too worried because I don't really follow anyone's setups.

The kit only comes with one set of pistons anyway, so why worry? You can always tune with oils, especially if you have a good range. Messing about with pistons is for factory team drivers who can afford to have a range ready on hand.

Set-ups are useful, but just as a guide, its strange to think that an exact set-up will work perfectly for all as we have different driving styles, shells, chassis weight balance, tyres, track conditions etc.
