I don't have Nutech's, but I'm running 40wt front and rear. Good bashing setup.wealeemt said:does anyone know what the best oil is for the nutech front shocks?
Nice, dude!rampage idiot said:Ordered 4 Nutechs today
Sounds like a plan! Let us know how you like them when you get them dialed.wealeemt said:these are the ftx7952 front shocks so there a little bigger then the mt's im thinking more space less wt so might try 35 wt first then i can go both ways
im running the fluid the came in the fronts(i don't know what they come filled with, so ill need to call him up),Deluge said:Yep. Higher the number, thicker the fluid.What weight are you running?
its got nothing to do with the size of the shock body, its all about the size and amount of holes on the plundgerwealeemt said:these are the ftx7952 front shocks so there a little bigger then the mt's im thinking more space less wt so might try 35 wt first then i can go both ways
im sure i saw an ajustable plundger somwhere on the net, been trying to find it again for ages.Deluge said:Do the Nutech's have different shock pistons available? Or do you pretty much have to work with what you get?
WE make you jealous HA you might want to look at the pics of the work you have done CRAP I am the one that is jeoalous!RCDAD said:You guys are making me jealous!

100wt should make a difference. LOLGTS 666 said:I would start with the 100wt and see from there no need to mess around.LOL.
Thanks for the info. They must have much larger holes in the pistons.TerraKill said:40wt is nowere near thick enuff!i filled my rear with this and it feels like there empty!
i don't know what the shocks come filled with but its atleast 3x's thicker then 40wt, and it still feels a little on the soft side, but its a good starting point, and i wouldnt get anything thinnner then that (im gonna be calling freepawnracing on monday to find out what they come filled with so i can order something thicker
i am correct in saying the higher the number the thicker the fluid yeh?
the bore holes on the plungers are massive in comparisent to stock shocks and hpi shocks
That very helpful mate thank you ive got the ftx shocks on route so will try 60 maybe and see what that works like!TerraKill said:im running the fluid the came in the fronts(i don't know what they come filled with, so ill need to call him up),and i made the mistake of emptying the rears and replacing with wt40 big mistake.......as said, it feels like theres nothing in them
its got nothing to do with the size of the shock body, its all about the size and amount of holes on the plundger
you can have 4 small holes, and 40wt will feel SUPER thick.(like stock baja/Mt shocks)
But you can also have 4 big holes, witch let the 40wt pass tho much faster with less resistance, making it feel super soft! (like on the Ftx/nutech shocks)
Let us know how it works.wealeemt said:That very helpful mate thank you ive got the ftx shocks on route so will try 60 maybe and see what that works like!
Ahaha. Or that!GTS 666 said:I would start with the 100wt and see from there no need to mess around.LOL.
Sweet! Let us know how it goes.wealeemt said:That very helpful mate thank you ive got the ftx shocks on route so will try 60 maybe and see what that works like!
Ride looks great !can you tell me how much longer the rears are compared to the fronts uncompressed ThanksTerraKill said:yeh they fit, and work like a charm!!!im in love with them after this weekend, you need to fit a spring washer to the wishbone pin to move the arm 1-2mm to one side for dogbone clearence then they bolt right on.
im running a pair of front and rear shocks, its working out great, but i wish i had ordered fronts for all round, as rears are abit long, and they will always be compressed (wish isnt good for the spring)
heres some pictures of them mounted to a MT
i would like to know the difference too.rampage idiot said:Ride looks great !can you tell me how much longer the rears are compared to the fronts uncompressed Thanks
