Hmmm... sorry about that! Just noticed it didn't post the rest of my message after I edited it!

If you look at the link below, you will see my filter. I have read that you should use filter oil on your filter prior to running. But, my filter has an outer filter (pre-filter?) and an inner one. Which should I oil?

oil both. i oil both with PJ1 foam filter spray, can be bought at almost any motorcycle shop and the can will last for ever for RC filters.

Like Jonathan said, you can oil both and PJ1 is a great oil, I used it for years on my race bikes. I usually oiled the inner pretty well and lightly oiled the outer. Now I just buy preoiled because I'm too lazy to clean and oil filters

For diff fluids I run 7/10/3, but I'm thinking of bringing it down a little for the cooler temps.
Yeah I have ran in Loganville and made it to the Fall Brawl also. Did you come to the Colonels Classic last weekend here in Savannah? We had over 200 entries! Anyway I took the Mugen mbx6r out for the first time today and I liked it other than a push I couldn't shake ran 35wt rear/ 8.0 spring white pistons 40wt front/ 8.0 spring but I think the bladders in the shocks are Serpent because they are honeycomb clear and can't get rebound to bleed down so front was tight 1 deg out toe/2 deg camber f+r/ 2.5/1 deg rear toe plate. Any tricks to get the shocks to bleed down using those bladders and if the setup calls for 0 lower arm spacer then you just leave them in the opposite end the setup sheet points to right? You don't just leave them out do you? Then the arm can move back forth a few mm which can't be good. I am kind of lost trying to get this pivot ball stuff figured out because I have always had a ball link/turnbuckle car (LOSI) so if there is any basic advice on setup to get started with some steering and grip on dry track I could use it. Thanks Again!
