XB Shock Oil Weights

[csp1971]

Anyone have a good starting point for some shock oil weight wise for the XB buggy?

I like 45 wt all the way around. Our track is hard and bumpy and it soaks up the bumps well.

I put an extra o-ring at the bottom of the shocks and I'm using 20 wt fork oil as in the hpi Baja. leaking is almost non existing and stays very stable when the shocks get hot, ooo and I also run at the same track as demon.

Thanks guys, I'll have to go through my shock oils and see what different weights I have. Figured since I was going to tear down my XB before I ran it, I might as well refill the shocks too.

Hi what grade Oil is the stock Shock Absorbers for the redcat rampage xb??

Nobody really knows what weight it is or even what it is. Redcat does not have that info.

How much in the way of cc will you have to have to do all 4 shocks.

 

[Guest]

I'm going to say somewhere around 50cc for the X-series shocks. I know a 60cc bottle of fluid is more than enough.

Awesome to know because I ordered 100cc of 40wt from ddm and was not sure how much I needed to do the job . Hell I may as well de anodize the caps and body's while I have them apart

Hope I didn't go too thick...

I had some 70w silicone stuff I used it in the rear shocks

It might be a little stiff. Even more so when it's cold. Give it a run and see how it drives. Part of the fun is experimenting with different setups.
