Which do you use.
Also. 20wt shock in 3 hole pistons is VERY light. I've never used such thin oil. Has anyone tried more holes and slightly thicker oil? Was thinking of 4 hole and 3 wt??
Using such thin oil wouldn't you get some "seapage" around the shock piston?
Lots of questions I know, but I've never had a Tamiya car, never an F1 or pan car and ran Nitro TC for over 15 years ... lol
You could say I'm comming out of my comfort zone ! hahaha

Not sure on the red spring...I use either the Short Black spring set (#42168) red or a Fluorescent Mini Car(#53333??) red spring, both are short and very soft. The "red" spring that comes with the pro cars is a touring car spring from the white hard set I think. Either way it's really a bit too long and a bit stiff.
The spring that a lot of people also like is off one of the older mini cars, it's silver and has a ton of coils, pretty soft.
I run the shock pretty thin on asphalt.
