what oil weight do you recommend using on the shock absorbers for the F1 car on a high grip surface track?
Thanks,

Which F1 do you have and what springs/tires are you running? I have the comp with the MMR chassis and the MMR gear drive set. I run 4000 in the front. Only time I mess with it is when the track is obnoxiously slick like SV recently.

What is that???
I have been experiencing "oversteer" on my F1 car for a while now. I don't know if it is tire related, as I have "C" tires on the rear and the temp hasn't been to great either. Anyhow, I thought about changing the oil weight on the shocks to change the timing on the weight transfer. I have soft springs on the rear and stiffer in the front. The sway bars on the front are almost at max HARD setting and very soft in the rear.
Any idea?
Thanks
