Talion shock oil

[rgfast]

I'm just wondering why the Talion uses such a high cST oil in comparison to other models? also would there be any benefit to lowering it to a 1000 cST like the Kraton uses? I've read else where that lowering the cST helps with handling on the Talion

The Talion uses the stiffest springs out of all the 6S bashers. You want to have a shock oil that matches the spring rate. You can try putting 1,000 CST in there but it might end up rebounding like a pogo stick.

You’re welcome. Some people may not know that diff oil and shock oil are really the same oil, just sometimes they use a weight instead of cst value. For example 80W TA shock oil is 1000cst and the same oil as a 1000cst diff oil. Obviously most run thicker oils in diffs than shocks, but it’s all silicone oil.
