Dirt Nap (awesome..)

That sounds like my track. I run 45 weight oil in the front and 35 in the back in my Mugen Pro. There are lots of other settings though. Sway bars..diff settings.... tires.... man oh man...

Make sure to set your halfshafts level to the deck.

I ran 35-30 in my hyper 7 PBS rtr. I'd get medium springs along with that and you should be good to go. The only possible way to learn a good setup is by trying one and seeing how it works. You can ask all you want but you'll never know what works for you untill you find what works for you.

Super Dave is completely insane.

Just because he has a nice looking body he thinks he can tell US pros what to do! What the hell does he know? 35-30? Wha?

Nut job for sure.

I run 45 to 35.

Nut sack...Bean ball..freeze ball nat bug....

He doesn't know! Look at those shoes! Bugger. His Buggy is clearly a bag of freeze dried shiz diggle. I could knock his sled flat and true. What the hell brother? Stay off the hard stuff.

Depends on the size of your piston holes buddy :). My PBS took that light weight because the piston holes were small... my kyosho MP777 is 45-35 right now and they are still a tiny but softer then my PBS suspension was. My friends hyper 7 TQ kit had 50-40 in it and you'd think he had 100 weight because of the small piston holes and it made the buggy drive like it had a ridged fame.

Edit: No matter what you put in there you will change it sooner or later as the track changes from month to month (unless its perfectly groomed) and you'll probably change it after the first day you try 35-30 because it might not feel right for you. Remember on bumpy tracks you need lighter oils to take the bumps better and give a smooth ride... if you had a heavy oil you will bounce a lot and loose control. For very smooth tracks you can get away with a heavier weight oil which will make the buggy feel more stable and consistant in the corners while a light oil will make it feel kinda sloppy.
