What shock oil ??? What is the kit oil ??

What is the standard gearing like with a 19T motor.

Can I use my side by side cells and the battery strap .????or do I have to tape the cells in ????


Is it worth reading this whole thread ???
Hi Paul:

welcome to the club.
for shock oil it pretty much depends on where you will be racing, if it is smooth carpet or asphalt. I think the kit oil is around 30, 35 wt... it is a good start.

regarding side to side cells, yes, you can use the kit battery strap, however I wouldn't trust it too much.... I strongly advise tape and moreover, you can save some grams with this too....

No idea about 19T... I run brushless mod....

good luck and if you plan to run an spool, the post above is a good tip!!
