The Yokomo RP-113425 RP Ultra Shock Oil #42.5 is a silicone shock fluid formulated for radio control dampers. It is supplied in a 40cc bottle and is blue for quick identification when sorting viscosities.
Role in setup: This oil changes the flow characteristics inside the shock to influence both rebound and compression, letting you refine handling without mechanical changes.
Installation and handling: Service shocks by removing old fluid, refilling with the selected viscosity, and compressing to purge air before resealing. Keep the bottle capped and avoid introducing dust or oil contaminants to preserve consistent damping properties.
Tuning notes: The #42.5 grade provides a middle-ground damping feel. Alter one variable at a time and compare neighbouring viscosities, as spring rates, piston holes, and track conditions all affect the final behaviour.
