im not sure what a tmaxx is ill assume its a nitro monster truck...
i used 35wt Schumacher shock oil in my e-zilla shocks to make the shocks a lil stuffer and make it more stable... nitro being heavier would prolly want 45 i would think......

thanks mate, just looked only got 2 bottles of 40 not 45 so will try that see how it goes

Just be Carefull mate....

The Thicker it is, the More Pack you'll get, which....

Means More Force on the Shock Caps !!!!!!!

And we All know that you've discovered if you land Hard a few times you can Pop the Shock Caps OFF !!!!!

Think you hit the Nail on the Head when you said Big Bores...

Bit of a difference between those and Normal one's.

Think i'd go lower than 60wt Matt.
