Looking for oil advice/set-up on 4x4 sc10. Track is smooth, hi-traction, and damp most of the time. Running stock springs, 3800/mmp and 4800 saddles.

As of now I have 1.2 pistons and 35/30, truck tends to "donkey" off fast kickers, but does nose down nicely on doubles. The saddle pack mod has surely moved the weight forward, even w/ the packs side by side and back to the brace.

Truck also has a tendency to loose the rear-end on the sweeper. The truck doese corner great. Steering does need to come down a litte.

Wondering if I should go w/ the FT yellow springs in the front as well.

Are you guys using AE brand oils?

Here's to hoping the mail lady shows up w/ my "Kit"......

Here's a video of the track I normally run. Luckily they expanded it quite a bit since this video was shot. But the dirt and overall smoothness is the same. I'm going to get some video of the new track soon.

Forgot to mention, video is of the truck w/ stick packs and no extra ballast, still 3800/mmp, stock springs, home-made 2.0 sways F/r. I'm the red,white and blue truck...don't mind the curb jump...
