Arrowmax am-210053 Silicone Diff Fluid is supplied in a 59ml bottle with a 1.600cst viscosity, designed for sealed differential housings on scale RC models to alter damping and traction without touching gears or bearings.
The oil's role is hydraulic: changing viscosity adjusts the rate at which torque is transferred between wheels during cornering, acceleration and deceleration. The 1.600cst grade provides moderate damping to stabilise transient weight shifts while keeping predictable throttle response.
Service procedure is familiar to most hobbyists: remove the diff from the chassis, disassemble per the diff type, drain old fluid, clean internal faces and refill to the recommended level. Use a clean bench, absorbent cloths and a small syringe or fill cup to prevent spills and air entrapment. After reassembly, run a few test laps and reassess handling before finalising settings.
Tuning pointers: treat viscosity swaps as fine adjustments and change only one parameter at a time while noting results. Balance fluid selection with mechanical settings like slipper clutch preload and gear mesh for an even overall setup. Store the bottle capped, upright and away from heat to maintain condition.
Offered as a consumable for differential tuning, the consistent 1.600cst option is aimed at users seeking predictable hydraulic tuning rather than mechanical alteration.
