What should I use of on road pavment. I read 60wt for front and 40 for rear. Is that true and what would be the equilivant for Tamiya oil Thanks again!
I am using the TRF shocks as well. I put inside the shock from the V parts the shorte black sleeve on the shaft. Use the short eylet (You should barely be able to get the spring retainer on when the shock is built. I run 90wt oil in the front and 50 wt in the rear. seems to work for me.
