shock oil
 
compared to losi shock oil, tekno 500 an 600 wt. is what. I was gonna use the factory oil but sqeezed to hard and blew the top off , oil went all over the counter top. not enough left to fill both front shock. :mad:

Tekno shock oil is cst, not wt. the newer ae bottles have that printed along with the wt on them. A losi wt to cst chart should get you what you want if you search online for one.

Not much help but AE oil it would be 50wt front and 40wt rear if I remember correctly which would be in the ballpark of 45 front and 37.5 rear in losi

If you had a pre-order from towers on the ET48 it should ship today.. my info online wasn't updated but I called about an unrelated issue and they said my truggy was shipping today.

Same if you ordered it yesterday :D

What about their diff oils? In the ET48 manual, they use wt. I have older Kyosho diff oils that are cst. Are they equal to Tekno's? Also, are the Tekno 20k and 10k diff oils included in the kit?

I may have asked the last question before. Sorry if that's the case.

Thanks, that helped both of us:nod: I'm pushing it, with my current batteries trying to get 8 hard min's, and at the end there puffers. Thats on the RC8t much heavier.

touché :nod:

I was hoping for a higher discount than $90 in December, but I ended up letting that pass and got stuck with $75. In my mind, I was going to hold out til $90 came back, but seeing it in-stock got me. I don't spend enough at Tower to get a coupon like that one. That's a Gold member coupon, right? Or does Tower consider you to be an international customer?

Don't know how RD will manage this, but I'm thinking 5 or 6s setup as I've read they could have the run times if they go to 15 minutes or more. Something like 3850/4400mah with 1700kv+5s or 1400+6s. Any thoughts on this?

Man, they still have Limited Quantity's at Tower, pull that that trigger Brother...your wife will live...lol:sneaky:
