What shock weight oil to use?

[FFRCJosh]

I was planning on building a comp/scale looking crawler. I'm using stock MAXX Shocks. What would be the best shock weight oil to use?

20 wt

It really depends on how the shock reacts with the suspenion. I would start with 30 and go from there...

im using 30wt in my tlt and its good.

Do any of you guys know what weigh the oil is that came with the TLT Kit?

Would you really use oil that thin? Crawling is inherently slow-moving, and it doesn't seem that you need the shocks to react quite that quickly. Seems like you'd want a softly sprung / heavily damped setup.

true but tlt's are so light so light oil works better. i will be running 25wt

I think 10wt. comes in them

I run 30wt but I drive a clod, i have 30wt in the mall crawler project and it seems thin, but I am running really soft spring with almost zero tension on the threaded shocks.
