AE Is Killer Of All......
45 will not be used on many us track - maybe on carpet tho.
oils that seem to be the "range" are 27.5-35wt
most common is 30wt in the front and 27.5wt in the rear of the buggy.
some people are now using 32.5/35 wt in the front of the buggy with a #1 piston, #2 piston most ran 30wt in the front.

im sure that would be good enough, that little change wont be the difference between winning and loosing unless your at or near the top level :P
in offroad practice and the right tires are the most important thing.

SOOOOOO quoted for truth. I have to reel myself in all the time. I have a couple local fast guys that I trust and they set me straight from time to time (thanks guys )
Single best upgrade you can make is another 6 minutes of laps on the track.

The tires you run and the foam you run in your tires create a variable. That being said, the height of bones level on one person's b4 could be different on another person's car due to how tall the tires are. Be careful , quite a few giving advice on here are novices that think they know a lot more than they really do when they are fairly new to the hobby themselves.
front tires Stock Rib from B4.1 FT kit stock foams
Rear tires holeshot 2.0 from the B4.1 Kit with stock foams
SO the levels he was asking are based off my buggy.
So that may help you on how mine was effected off what tires I am running.

On the topic of tires, would going low-profile in the front only be recommended for asphalt/concrete bashing? Or are they a good move on dirt? Seems like the rally guys (not RC) go reasonably lo-pro even though they have to deal with bumps, ruts, and jumps--although that might go back to the superior suspension technology again.

Alright I'll give the #2's a shot.. Since I was lazy and bought the RTR kit I haven't touched the shocks yet. Doesn't look too tough as long as you RTFM and take your time.
On another shock-related matter, do you know where to get (only the) shock boots to cover the front and rear shafts? Seems like I'm getting some crud build-up after *every run* where the shock body meets the shafts. I clean it right away but that's getting old. Seems like boots would help a ton here, no?

The crud you are getting on your shock is from oil leaking. Sounds like the shocks need to be rebuilt and when you do rebuild them make sure you use the white spacer that comes in the rebuild kit between both o-rings not the black ones that came with the shocks. Also, adding some green slime to the o-rings will help them from leaking.

ThunderbirdJunkie will always use arms/bones above/below/level as a relation for ride height because it is the only way to ensure static geometry is the same.

Yes, but 24mm ride height with one set of tires/foams can alter where you are in your camber gain and dogbone plunge and your bumpsteer "curve"? if you're running different tires/foams. Do you set your ride height again every time you change tires?
