Improve Cornering with Tamiya VG Gear Differential Oil 1000

Tamiya VG Gear Differential Oil 1000 supplies a steady silicone base for adjusting differential behaviour. The oil helps reduce erratic responses and improves balance when cornering at speed.

Applications and Compatible Gearboxes

This oil is compatible with a number of Tamiya gear diff units, such as the TRF417 Differential Gear Unit, TA06, and TA05 Gear Diff Unit. Selecting the right viscosity allows finer control of traction and turning characteristics.

Silicone Oil Performance Traits

Compared with mineral oils, silicone variants sustain their viscosity better across loading and temperature changes, producing more uniform diff action. That makes silicone oil a preferred choice for precise setup work.

How often should I refresh the diff oil?

Refresh the oil whenever you disassemble the diff for maintenance or if you detect contamination, foam, or a change in response; for frequent racers this might be every few events.

Will this change handling a lot?

Changing to or between silicone viscosities adjusts how much the diff locks under load, which can noticeably affect corner entry and exit. Small steps in viscosity give controlled tuning.

Any tips for filling the diff?

Clean the housing, use the recommended fill volume for your unit, avoid overfilling, and cycle the diff slowly to remove trapped air for consistent results.
