Yup, that stuff was THE oil to run if you raced. Still some of the best oil ever sold for RC cars. It didn't break down silicone o-rings and bladders like the current tech silicone oils do.
I have a collection of 5wt to 140wt at home. Most are new and have never been used. That stuff is probably Losi or Robinson oil.

man i dunno about this thing...

Hoopty, here's an idea, instead of trying to fix it up, just rebuild it and make a custom monster truck or beach/swamp runner. This way you can continue to run it and not worry about it being a "nice" buggy. Similar to what Ron Jeremy did:

eh. i dunno...
bolink lies with thier 'lowering kit'. when used with thier custom front shock tower its not really that low, actually kinda high... but when used with a normal rc10 front shock tower its too low. i think i'll trim down the original front tower a little to bump to front ride hieght up to match the rear.
i hadda drill new lower shock mounting locations in the trailing arms.
the paddles barely clear the trailing arms.
one of the rear wheels was having a hard time getting over the axle so i gave it a slap, but didnt realize my other hand was grabbing onto the knife-edge rear section of the chassis. cut myself a little...

When I first replied to this thread I almost typed "don't cut yourself on that chassis", but I didn't want to jinx you.
