Looking for a good starting point for Diff Fluids, Shock Fluids, Sway Bars, Spring Rates and Ride Hights for WCRC

I did feel like a loner.....The only SC10 4X4 in a gaggle of Losi

Thanks

I run 30wt front and 27.5 rear for shock oil with FT yellow springs all around. Yellow front and white rear for sway bars. 24mm front and rear ride height. Since you have no slipper or diff mods I would run 30K front and 7K rear for the diffs. I would however suggest getting the center diff from Rcshox.com (what I run now and it is glorious). But if you're not ready for that upgrade I say at the least get the MacTheKnife clutch basket as it a huge improvement over the stock slipper configuration (ran that too). Add a chassis brace to help the belt skip.(I have a couple extra I could let you have for one for pittance.)
Try to read thru this thread there are a bunch of upgrade options you can run that the guys here have come up with that will greatly improve this truck
FYI you are not alone.

Seeing as how they were just announced, I don't think you will see them for a few more weeks.



It was a ton of fun! Always my favorite race of the year!
thanks

It's got numbers on it? I didn't even know that. I just eyeballed it off the old turnbuckles and did it one at a time.

What exactly do you mean "the center diff"?

Does not apply for assembly. They are all the same.

The numbers on the ball stud are just mold numbers. If they have a number over time that does not form right they can track it down to which one it is.

No... you remove the black rubber bladders and put them in your parts bin. You will need the screw in the shock cap for emulsion... or the oil would squirt out.

You should already have an o-ring on the shock body.

Im curious to see how they fit inside of the b44 saddle tray, are they to tall?
I use the 5100 65c's and they fit perfect in the RcShox exotech inline mount.
