What shock oil?

Recommended Posts

Hi 

I am new to all this so please forgive me if I am asking stupid questions!

 

I have rebuilt the shock towers, hubs etc with aluminium parts as the plastic kept breaking and I want to replace the oil in the shocks as it is the standard stuff from new. What grade should I use? I run mainly on grass.

 

Also I keep shearing my dogbones on landing. I was told in the general forum that my slipper clutch may need adjusting. How tightly do I set it?

 

I am sure these are the first of many questions I will need help with,so thank you in advance.

Need some more info, what RC is it?

 

Shearing dog bones on landing could be a few different things, loosen the slipper a touch and also limit the shocks up stroke by putting small sections of nitro fuel pipe on the shock shafts should help
