Why are you running an oil that thick? You're hurting the engine more than helping it.
I run 10/40 in my Cherokee, only way I can keep oil in it
On a cold morning, can take a few minutes to build up to 45psi tho...

For those that may be interested. First RCRocs is May 5th of this year. They are also going to have a R/C comp, which my boy and I just registered for. We plan on spending the whole weekend up there and wheeling on Sunday

That actually sounds like your sway bar links are too long. Check to see if your sway bar ends are hitting the unibody.

So I'm actually thinking of taking that weekend off and coming up also, I'll wheel Saturday and Sunday. I'll watch everything else unless I can use your scx10 with my winch and other scale stuff that will make you do good

By the way, the new adjustable track bar fixed my wobble

Now I just need to figure out the bumpy ride I have.
