Sorry I do not know what 450 and 400 for shock oil are. Do you know if it is 30wt 60wt etc.? Also what color springs are you running. I have a dark green and a white set and am currently running the Kyosho ST-RR light green set of springs.

He needs to go with thicker oil in the rear to help settle it down..way to much bounce. The front seems to be on the light side also. What shock oils work (wt.) for other truggies dont necessarily work for the Caster, for the way I like my truggy to work I would try 600 in the front and 650 in the rear..on the 400..etc on the wt. it works sorta like this 400 is roughly 37.5..so 600 is close to 57wt and 650 is close to 62wt.. not exact..but you get the idea..I have been told to drop the last digit..450 would be 45wt..I had a chart that said just what was what as far as a conversion went..but i cant seem to find it..if anyone has this info..feel free to let us know..

Status: offline 		Ok, I started tuning for performance this afternoon and got the engine dialed in. The LSN barely needed to be moved, only about an "hour" (as the clock face go's) This thing is stupid (in a holy.....s*** kind of way). I never knew one speed transmission Truggy's would pull the front wheels completely off the ground! I was coming across the front yard and punched it and the only thing that kept it from flipping over backwards was the wing! I think I soiled myself a little at that moment. I can honestly say I am speechless at this point. The performance on this Truggy is INSANE.

Status: offline 		Looks great vnm, thought about pickin one of those bodies up but I guess I'm still a traditional type guy. Those look almost biological, always remind me of snakes for some reason. Looks great none the less, let us know how the races with the Caster go!
