This is my 1st 4wd buggy and I see what you are saying. I race with guys running TLR, HB, AE and Yoko. Most of them are on the light side for shock oils whereas I have 800cst(60wt) up front and 613cst(47.5wt) in the rear using AE oils. I set mine up off the basic carpet setup sheet the Xray has for the '15 spec. At this point that setup is working for me but Im sure with more wheel time I will be changing it.
