Default shock oil

What would be a good weight shock oil for mostly bashing and a little racing with a Kyosho ST Inferno US Sports?

Depends how many holes there are in the pistons. For 1/8th buggies with stock 2 hole pistons, a nice soft setup for bashing would be 30-40wt, 50 if you want a bit stiffer. If the pistons have more than 2 holes, you'll need to go stiffer still.

[link=http://www.kyoshoamerica.com/Shock-Piston4pcs_p_3279.html]This[/link] is the pistons. Would that be considered one hole?

And I assume you know it is the truggy that I have?

The pistons you show are for an Inferno GT (onroad). Being slotted on the side, it's nearly impossible to compare to a piston with 2 - 4 holes.

Those are the ones it shows and mentions in the maintenance manual. I finally found a recommendation in the manual, and bought some.
