O ya you are onto something now. The shock is suppose to come back out slowly if it doesnt have a spring. I also thought about running 60wt until I got to the hobby shop and saw it in the bottle. Man that stuff looked like pancake syrup.
50/50 should be a good starting point. I think you will want to fine tune that once you run it.
The 50/50 will make that truck feel like new on the track. You should notice an improvement the first run you make. Just remember the stiffer the shocks are the less weight transfer you will get.
