I think it is JQ's guide that says your shocks should always feel the same on the bench, but on the track you notice a difference. That difference coming from the piston inside. So how is it supposed to feel on the bench? I forget how his guide reads, but basically the oil should be thin enough so the car feels plush. Push down and it comes right back up. If it feels sluggish the oil is probably too thick. That's how i like doing it anyway. It's hard to explain in writing how to tell if your oil is too thick or thin. There is a bit of a range where your oil can be a little thicker or thinner and it probably won't affect your lap times. Next time you're at the track use a temp gun to temp a few things in the shade. My myself or someone on here can tell you what oil to run with the piston, spring and shock position you're running.

812 or 815 blocks?
Fellas quick question........I run the d815 with the #3 rear camber plates (stock). If I go back to the d812 hubs, what hole would I b losing? The inside hole or the far outside hole?

Look at Potter's response below. I was incorrect.

It's been a while since I ran the 1.3x6's. With VRP'S you run the same oil as regular pistons. Based on some notes I have on my phone if the temp is above 63°F, Losi 32.5 front / 27.5 rear is what I would run. If it's below 63° I would run Losi 30 / 25. I don't have data handy for at what temp is time to go thicker or thinner than what I listed. A 15° change in temp is probably a good rule of thumb to go up or down another 2.5wt. I'm going to speculate that the estimated average temp for Ty's race during the 2015 DNC was approximately between 63° to 78°. I wish I had better data handy for you for the 1.3x6's since I'm the one that volunteered to give it!

Thanks very much for the assistance, i really appreciate it.
A new question though, emulsion shocks, can we run them/should we run them or are these fancy bladders the bees knees?

On the 6x1.3's this is what I will be trying this weekend. I've been happy with the 5x1.5's and the thicker oil, but I've been told to use that more when the track is blown out, and right now the track has been on the smoother side.

Our track is very bumpy, with gravel and sand (also astroturf,wood and 'flat' stones in some sections).
I use Ty's silver state setup with blue CSI pistons, but the car does not like high speed turns and gets very upset on the bumpyest sections compared to the other cars.
Temp is between 10-25 C.
Any tips on how to make the car easier to drive? Thinner shock oils?

Also a note to all D815 racers - pack the front and rear dog bone with grease inside the boot. This helped immensely in preserving the drive pin.

I just replaced the center driveshafts and put some hudy graphite grease on them is that the correct grease ?

Also look at Reno Savoya's setups, they are easier to drive than Ty's.
If you want to try something different from the stock pistons, try the VRP range. Very good on a bumpy track.
