First race weekend with the Associated 12R5.2 and second time racing modified(Yokomo R12 for the first time). Good fun and clean racing by all.
I managed to sneak in for the TQ and ended up 2nd. Good fun

Qualified 2nd and ended up 1st <----? I still don't remember the first place driver crashing. I was confused when I saw the results. Lol.

im confused on the side dampers. Manual shows diff grease same grease you would use on ball diff. Set up sheet shows 20,000 cst which I assume would be same as 20k diff oil for gear diff in off road buggy, and another source shows rear oils 30wt/30wt. So what am i going to use in the side dampers ? diff grease, diff oil, or shock oil. Sorry this is very dumb but I just can't grab the idea of these dampers!

If you are talking about damper tubes, I would suggest 10k, 15k, and 20k. Go with 15k and go up or down depending on track conditions (for carpet).

The kit oil 30wt will be for the center damper. However, you can use other damper oils. However, please keep in mind on the choice of oil you use for tuning your damper. There are two kinds of oil viscosity measurements used in the hobby "WT" and "CST". Personally I run CST in all my cars, because most on-road setups follow this. Not all, but most.
