I've got a used rc8b that's been converted using the factory kit.
1. I need shock oil for the shocks. 10 hole pistons.
2. I need a set-up sheet for an large outdoor track. Looked at TA site and couldn't find an "e" setup that was what I needed.
3. Gearing for 4s, rx8/2050, w/ a 50 spur gear. Have 21 on it, but should be around 19.
4. I've got a set of m2 revolvers, Should work good outdoors? I also have some panther tires, not sure of the compound or style, panther isn't very good w/ the markings on their tires.
Thanks guys. Here's a video of the track.

I believe AE suggests to start with 30-35 shock oil.
The electric and nitro cars are the same "car" so the setup shouldn't really be different. If you want to look though. There is a setup guide in the back of the RC8be owners manual. I realize you don't have one being a conversion, but they are in PDF kn AEs site.
I can't comment much on the 50T spur. You'd have to put that in a calculator. Unless someone has experience.
And M2s should be good for loose outdoor.
