Stupid question but have to ask

[Kingleo619]

I kinda think it’s different but whatever I’m asking Is shock oil and diff fluid the same consistentency ? lmao on this thought tho

my shock fluid is stock, but front end won’t raise back up
What weight is good for front and rear. I bash only if that makes a difference.

Idk the difference between the shock and diff fluid but if your question about shock weight is for the 3s line, I run 42.5 wt and from what I’ve seen most people like 35-45 in the 3s line.
Idk about 6/8S tho.

I only know that from the same brand, my shock fluid is colored pink and my diff fluid is opaque or clear. I think Losi brand fluids.

If the front won't raise back up, good chance you have a bent shock shaft.

Losi does that for their fluids my 35wt is orange 70wt green 50wt red 30wt clear it's all silicone fluid just that losi has to have added some kind of additive to change the colors. The bottles are colored also though never really looked that close it does make for easier identification with the colored bottles.


Shock fluid and diff fluid is the same just diff fluid is thicker that's why it's a higher cst (weight).

Thanks I’m going to look into that after this thanksgiving nap

Shock rebuild time. One of mine was just doing same thing. I thought it was a bent shaft. Thankfully just a worn piston.

A fool knows everything, a wise man asks questions. There is no such thing as a stupid question, and because of your question I too learned something )

Oh also I have head hinge pins duplicate the same issues they were binding once I remove the shock it would not move freely
