Trf415msx shock rebuild

[Walsall-Basher]

I'm pretty new to all this toy car business so bit of a basic question

I'm thinking about stripping down and rebuilding my 2nd hand trf415msx shocks. Think they're the kit springs so just wondering what a good starting point in shock oil weight would be. Obviously will be using new o rings and rebuilding as per instructions

Depends on the track, I use lower weight oil + softer spring in the rear and a heavier weight oil + harder spring in the front.

#400 oil is what Tamiya suggest and that is what I would start with.

On my TRF416x on carpet, I run 50wt AE oil all round, white springs front, blue springs on the rear.

TRFs are best rebuilt with genuine T silicone seals & new Teflon guides.

Worth chasing the TRF rebuild kit rather than anything aftermarket.
