Refine Damper Response with Tamiya 42180 VG Damper Oil 60

Modelers seeking accurate suspension setup will appreciate the Tamiya VG Damper Oil 60. This silicone oil provides consistent damping characteristics so you can adjust shock response to suit circuit conditions. The 60 viscosity gives a firmer, more controlled feel ideal for higher speed sections.

Use Cases and Compatibility

Suitable for most oil-filled shocks used in touring and off-road platforms, this oil offers flexibility for different chassis and track types. Firming up dampers with this grade can reduce body roll and improve corner stability. The 50cc bottle supplies enough for several damper rebuilds and setup trials.

What Viscosity Means for Handling

Viscosity controls dampers by changing flow resistance through the piston. Lower numbers soften the response for rough surfaces, while a 60-grade oil slows shock movement for better control during fast laps. Select viscosity in concert with spring rates and damping settings for the desired chassis balance.

Oil viscosity changes damping only; it does not alter spring rate or static ride height. It will influence dynamic behaviour under load and during weight transfer.
Fill slowly and work the piston to expel air bubbles. A properly bled shock delivers consistent damping and avoids spongy feel caused by trapped air.
Yes, the oil is versatile across many classes; however, select viscosity according to vehicle weight, track type and driving style for best results.
