Why is 90-100w or 1000cts and over shock oil really hard to find?

My manual says 550cst. I just replaced the rear with 800cst and highly recommend it. Much softer. The rear stays much more planted. This is a 2018 V3 manual.What is tje weight for the typhon v3 mate? (and or cst)

yeah i need 2000cst for my talion... Cant find more than 800 which i use in my notorious..
The pic is V3. 2000cst per the manual.what is the stock shock oil weight on arrma talion v3
What about getting into the 100,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 CST to WT?A couple people have asked how the cSt oil weight converts to wt values that are found on many shock oil bottles. Below are the shock wt values converted to cSt as well as the conversion of Arrma-RC models for easy reference.
Shock oil sets:
Team Losi Shock Oil 6Pk - 20, 25, 30, 35, 40, 45
Team Losi Shock Oil 6Pk - 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100
WT to CST Silicone Oil Conversion Chart
10wt = 100cst
15wt = 150cst
20wt = 200cst
25wt = 275cst
30wt = 350cst
35wt = 425cst
40wt = 500cst
45wt = 575cst
50wt = 650cst
55wt = 725cst
60wt = 800cst
70wt = 900cst
80wt = 1000cst
Arrma Granite shocks use 350cSt (or 30wt) oil.
Arrma Kraton shocks use 550cSt (or roughly 43wt) oil.
Arrma Nero shocks use 1000cSt (or 80wt) oil.
I don't think shock oil is measured in such high weight. If you look at the Talion, Kraton and Outcast in the photo above, you see that none of them exceeds 2000cst. The numbers you are using usually apply to the thicker differential fluids.What about getting into the 100,000, 500,000, and 1,000,000 CST to WT?

My LHS offers both
Diff oils in CST
Shock oils in CST
In the same CST? Like there's a 2000 cst diff fluid and a 2000 cst shock fluid? From the same manufacturer?
It's possible, or they revised it. My Nero Big Rock manual shows 1000cst inside the circle, at the same angle as the bottle.
