Thank you again Coelacanth! When I look around it seems common among many drivers that they want a heavier oil up front, than in the rear shocks. Guess I will have to try :) The buggy-bug seems to have bitten me HARD :) Ended up buying also a Xray XB4 to have something modern along with the vintage ...

Sorry I forgot, AND did read somewhere that these old shocks needs
a totally different oil/weight than what is used today.
I read your answer again now. I will trust you ofcourse. Sorry.
Bought a set of six different weights from LOSI.

Cheers!

Hi again.
Not much happening here, waiting for parts...
Anyone got an idea about what oil to pour into these old original shocks?
I got a feeling our modern oils are not what they need...

Cheers!

That was a very helpful answer
Thank you!
I have not opened them yet, I will soon though.

Cheers!

Hi dudes and dudettes

If I am to try to restore the shocks, I guess I will have to get hold of
some certain o-rings and stuff. And hints/tips?

Cheers!

Thank you Coelacanth!

This was a fantastic explanation! Wonderful!
I will start by checking/changing oil, before I try to take them apart... Newbie

Cheers!

Hmm...What oil should I use in my shocks?
Theres a jungle out there...

Thanks

Thanks Guccismith!

Future looks bright
I will soon start takeing the car to pieces.
Even just cleaning every piece will be fun
I'll be back with loads of questions for sure.

Cheers!

I did fear something like what you are saying...
Is it possible still to save the rear ones you think?

I guess I might be bitten already.... Darn

Thank you Guccismith! I am also in Sweden btw :) I will try to renovate those shocks. I will take apart the entire car as much as I can actually. The rear shocks moves rather quickly and easily when I move the swingarms up by hand and then release them, but the front travels move back back down rath...

One more thing:

How do I know if the diffs are ok?

Thanks!

Thank you guys! This place really is a goldmine of knowledge :) Regarding the original shocks, I WILL try to renovate them, but I am very nervous about me doing it wrong, or maybe I might not be able to put them back together again :) I guess I will have to try to fins some kind of video on Youtube ...

Thank you very much THEYTOOKMYTHUMB :) Thats great news. Does anyone know if I can use these shocks on my car? https://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-KYOSHO-4WD-Shocks-Set-Front-Rear-GOLD-TURBO-OPTIMA-JAVELIN-KP29G/312895342675?_trkparms=aid%3D1110012%26algo%3DSPLICE.SOIPOST%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D20200420083544%26...

Hi again

Can anyone maybe tell if the charger I got with the car is for LiPo only?
I will not use LiPo on this car...
I think the motor is a Lemans 240ST. Its a bog standard motor as I get it? Nothing fancy?
Fits my needs actually if it is

Cheers!
