The oil inside the shock is to control the harmonics of the spring.

The amount of rebound you would want all depends on vehicle, set up and track conditions if I’m correct hint why there’s different shock spring ratios and shock oil thicknesses then again I am not a expert and I know that there’s a lot of tips and tricks that professionals don’t tell like I’ve seen some that put shocks upside down. And I for one enjoy your videos

For sure...lots of tips / tricks out there to get the setup you want. Of course you can go and get different springs, or maybe a higher weight oil in general. But this is more of a "hack" for those that don't want to buy new springs and they already have some diff oil somewhere in their cabinet. It gives you basically a similar result as new springs.

Subbed , I started rc a year ago with a kraton , built one. Turned to speed runs built a few. So now I just moved to a city so I bought a losi mini b to race on carpet and I’m realizing I don’t truly know much about …. Well much lol (shocks , etc)

The fact that we can see the shock piston become air bound about a quarter inch from bottoming out proves the commenter's from the previous video right beyond the shadow of a doubt. The laws of physics also tell me the vehicle you put those shocks on has a bad tendency to pogo stick after big jumps and on rough terrain, i know from experience exactly how any vehicle will handle with shocks set up that way and learned through trial and error that it is objectively wrong. That seal blows out from under the cap upon hard landings when the shocks have air on both sides of the badder. Also you can tell that at least there is less air on the wrong side of the bladder by how much slower the shock piston extends after compression in this video vs the previous one. I'm only say this because I learned the hard way that this doesn't work well or last long, if you want to find out the hard way too at least we can both say we share this experience, i hope you learn from it too.

I think its a personal preference when it comes to setting up shocks and suspensions. I see people using and doing all kinds of different things with their set ups when we go out crawling on the trails, bashing at the parks and in the pits at the tracks. I have determined that there really is no right or wrong way of doing it, just try it all and do what works for you✌️

Absolutely! Everybody has their thing that works for them. No one size fit all 😀

@CobraRacingRC you have great videos, I enjoy watching and trying new ideas. Your idea topping off the shock fluid with diff fluid works pretty slick on my slash✌️ probably won't try it on my crawler because I have desert lizards dialed a little slower for that so they unload slower to avoid roll overs.
