Generally no one runs either the 2 or 6 degree blocks. THe blocks should have a 4L/4R marking on them. There are 3 different flex options on the front blocks with Flex/Medium/Standard blocks. Assume you have Standard4 degree blocks.

No. The manual says to run the shim in the forward position but if you follow Hofers set up advice run half a mm of shim either side. This is what i do.

Long arms are no longer produced. The only way to tell is to get some new ones and compare. The short arms will make the car more aggressive and IMO you should stick to the hard arms and let the chassis and the hubs do the flexing for you.

Std blocks with 1mm of shim either end gives you 3.5 degrees. If you are serious about racing you really need to invest in a set up station.

IMO shuie oil is a lot lighter than the losi stuff. 35 shuie would be like 30 or 27.5 losi. Comparing Garys 40wt on the weekend just gone it was more like the losi 35/32.5wt
