Fine Tune Your Differential with Silicone Fluid

Hobbyists aiming for consistent handling will find the Tamiya 54418 Silicone Differential Oil useful. The 500,000 viscosity helps firm the behaviour of gear diffs, aiding traction and reducing erratic wheelspin on varied courses.

How High Viscosity Affects Your RC

Using a dense silicone changes the differential's reaction under load, improving traction and making throttle control more predictable. This is beneficial for track days and technical layouts where grip management is key.

Instructions for Filling and Upkeep

Ensure the diff internals are free from grit before filling. Carefully add the Tamiya 54418 oil and avoid overfilling to prevent seepage or inconsistent diff action. Regular servicing and oil changes will keep performance reliable.

Yes. Tamiya 54418 is often chosen for race prep when a stiffer diff feel and improved traction are required.
It is compatible with most metal and plastic diff components; just ensure seals and bearings are in good condition to avoid contamination.
A small syringe, pipette, or dedicated diff pump helps control volumes and keeps the job tidy for consistent tuning.
