so a buddy a the track mentioned he ran heavier oil in the front and I was like no no no you always run heavier in the back and then he said no no, heavier in the front....so we ended up both be unsure of ourselves. I came home and looked up recent sheets for his car and a few others of the popular brands and sure enough they all are running heavier shock oil in the front except Tekno, the set up sheets I looked at for the Teknos are running heavier in the rear and seems to be the only cars doing so, I look at Kyosho, Mugen, AE and HB....I'm curious about this as I'm sure most of you guys have run other cars, I haven't.
Thanks

I have always felt my car was more balanced with lighter oil in front, I have tried lighter in the rear but it felt like the rear was too bouncy, at least for my liking. Since the geometry (especially the front end) is drastically different than anything else in the market comparing setups isn’t going to work.
I suggest you try both combinations and stick with what works best for you.

the .3 vehicles are also the ones with the most travel, and we're running the truggy shock package on our buggies. Much more volume. I always try to run 25-50cst more in the rear.
Especially since tracks around here like to put a good size jump with no downside so we're flat landing.

Hey guys, for our buggys you will typically want the front to be 100 to 150 cst lighter than the rear. This has to do with our geometry. Reciently we have been experimenting with less pack in the front (fewer but larger holes in the piston) and it has allowed us to run a heavier oil in the front. For example we have been using 3x2.1 Pistons in front with 650 oil and 4x1.8 Pistons in the rear with 450. Depending upon ambient temp you might need to go with heavier oil if it is hotter than 85f.

One of those, "Gee, Why didn't I think of"... moments.
May also have to do a set of fronts with 4x1.8's with 350... and try the 350\450 oils...I've always ran roughly 50 CST different front to rear, never 100....
A testing we will go....

My friend just test the car with the shock cups from the electric and this allow the suspension to work with zero rebound make it mote consistan to a bumpy track and his second change he put the rear differential case with the dogbone outdrive in the center he says the car puts more power in the front end make it more easily to drive

I know its covered a lot by seeing specific servos listed, but I was wondering what speed/torque should I be looking for? 300+ / .11+?

So I just bought my NB yesterday, am hitting the track for the first time on Thursday. Any main differences for setup from the EB that I should look for? When setting up my electronics last night I noticed the steering linkage is longer, and that the chassis braces are different. But overall, should my shock, pills, etc be the same?
I bought the NB used, the rest were new.. so I'm not sure what is in the diffs/shocks atm...
Can't wait to try her out!
