i usual put silicon oil in mine, i haven't ever tried motor oil but i guess it would work?

I have a rustler vxl and I always put 55 weight silicon shock oil in the back and 45 in the front. It helps a lot with hard landings.

Motor oil might be too thick.

Surprisingly the motor oil was really thin and the car is very unstable at high speeds

Make sure the motor oil won't have detergents in it that would attack your seals and other plastic/rubber parts. Motor oil is for lube and hydraulic oil is for your application.
