RC cars

[Mysterae_]

I recently bought my lad a used Traxxas Rustler and while cleaning it up I've discovered one of the shocks is leaking oil. Do I really need to buy specific RC shock oil or can anything of sufficient weight do?

Shouldn’t have looked at this thread.

Used to race nitro off road and 1/10th electric on road in my teens.

All fizzled out when I could drive real cars, drink and chase women but this thread has given me the itch.

Always wanted a big 1/5th scale petrol monster
