what shock oils on high grip oval
Miles, So Dialed's RC setup AI
For a Team Associated SR10 on a high-grip oval, use 30 wt Associated oil as the front baseline. If the car rolls too much or feels overly planted, try 32.5 wt in the front shocks as a small step up; the SR10 setup information does not specify a high-grip front/rear oil split or a rear kit oil value, so I can’t give a reliable rear number.
Heavier oil slows the suspension and can reduce chassis roll and grip, which may help when the track has plenty of traction. High-grip oval guidance generally points to heavier damping, but it’s best to change one end at a time.
- Keep the rear oil unchanged for the first test.
- If you use another brand, match by cSt, not just the wt label, because wt is not standardized across brands.
If the car gets harsh over bumps or loses grip, go back to the previous oil.
