Are the heavier oils that folks seem to be using in setups in the rear shocks a result of the increased volume of the longer shocks? I've always run with the front weight using the heavier fluid than the rear shocks, but not so with the .3 setups I'm seeing so far. I won't get to test mine out for a few weeks yet and it will run on a small/med indoor where 35F / 30R shock oil has seemed to work well in the past, anyone have suggestions on where to start with fluids for my newly converted .3 in these types of conditions
Thanks,

Indoor doesn't officially start for us until October, so I'll have to wait to mess with the indoor setup, but for now it handles good outdoors.

Without breaking out the calipers and measuring, it seems as though the front, lower mounting position moved more from the .2 to the .3 than the rear did. Especially when using the .3 kit (box stock) mounting locations (outer on front arm, inner on the rear arm).
If this is accurate, without measuring to confirm, the front shock on the .3 has gained more relative shock shaft speed than on the rear, allowing us to run either equal or thinner weight shock oil up front. If you were to run your shock oils on the .3 like the .2 (thicker front shock oil), you may find it feeling even thicker than expected as a result of this geometry change and the extra shock shaft speed.

What's everyone liking for shock setup?
Im gonna try pink front 32.5wt rear yellow 35wt this weekend

I won't be able to try it out on a track for a couple weeks yet. I'm sure I'll have to make some adjustments, but thought this was a good starting point for fluids based on .3 setups found on the Tekno site.
I'll report back when I do.

I am getting the new .3 and thinking of running either on 4S (2050kV) or 3S (2650kV). I am going to run the .3 at a small-medium size indoor track with lot of tight turns. What do you guys think?

Now if you were talking about running a SL buggy or an SCT convert I would say go with 3s and a 4x4 SCT motor.
