I'm running an indoor asphalt track with alot of traction. I'm running running 50wt oil with 6.0 spring and nothing on disk. .020 front spring. I feel that I need to loosen the rear of the car up so it will rotate faster on tight corners. Should I drop to 40 wt oil? I'm running stock.
i do'nt know much about 12ths as i only just got one myself but the guy that i got it from is one of the quickest 12thscale drivers around our neck of the woods and he uses 10w-20w in the centre shock.
do'nt know the reason for this but it's run on out door asphalt track and works very well
sorry to create more questions than answers
