no is said same track and for a 1/10 scale car vs 1/8 on same track. so to scale! the track is more inconsistent as a %... i run much lighter oil in 1/10 scale car so it moves around a lot more and at a higher rate of speed even more than my 1/8 at more weight. so on the same track my 1/10 shock are working harder as far as movement. yes in a long main the shock will come inconsistent with heat but i was talking about track inconsistent effect on movement of the shock. now cuz emulsion have bad inconsistency as a shock it might be another good reason not to run it on 1/8 buggy in long mains for the heat expansion of air vs just oil(but not sure of that test)!!!
