springs and oil
I have a slayer and I know that its not a monster truck, well to try and drive its a monster roll machine!, but I get better responses here than the nitro off road forum. I am gonna put the sway bar kit on it, but I need some suggestions on what springs and shock oil to got with to help get the rolling tamed down. It is mostly just a basher, should I just go with the stiffest springs and heaviest oil I can get? Where should I set the shock preload at? I adjusted the preload with the stock springs and couldnt tell a bit of difference, it is just so soft and has so much body roll I gotta do something about it. Thanks.

You should keep pretty medium soft spring for bashing, and yes you need heavier oil. for the preload use one of the biggest ones on every shock do give an extra bounce on a jump

Theres lots of different kinds, some people by the really expensive stuff from some big RC company.. But its the same thing as PURE SAE motor oil. You can buy a quart of this oil and an auto shop for like 3 bucks and it comes in weights from 5 to 70, a very big range. In my buggy i go with SAE 40 weight, try that
Make sure its the pure stuff, just oil no other lubricants or other things.
If you want me too i will take a pic of the quart so you can see what it looks like
