ok So I've changed the shock oil on my T4.1(rear shocks) twice now. At first everything is smooth until I go for a few laps and the rear shocks feel really sticky. Why is this happening? I'm using 35 losi oil all around, the fronts are fine.

Changing the oil won't help a swollen set of O-Rings , check for a bent shaft also....


After two weeks the seals are swollen quite a bit ...

Rob,

I have run 17/87 in my T4 with a 6.5. Give that a try to start with.

Does anyone have any tires recommendations for B4 for a blown out dusty and dry track? Track is not terribly bumpy but the surface has a good amount of loose dirt on top of a hard packed clay.

I tried X-3000 in Red compound and they were good when there was no loose dirt but terrible in the loose.

Would calibers, holeshots or Goosebumps be the best bet?

Definetly try the goosebumps for that kind of track! Should be good.

Thanks for the recommendations. What about front tires? I tired Losi taper pins and wide body ribs both in red compound. The wide body fronts were more stable for me.

I also have some Losi BK 3 rib Pre-scrubbed fronts in silver compound that I have to mount up yet. Anything else recommended?

step pins, bow-ties, but definately goosebumps should work

Try the Losi red Bigshots or green Goosebumps. A front rib tire from PL, Losi, or Jconcepts would be best.

Thanks for all the suggestions guys.

I will order up some Jconcepts Goosebumps and another set of rib fronts to compare to my Losi ribs.

I will report back once I get a chance to try these tires.
