Adjustable silicone damping for RC shocks

This silicone shock oil is crafted for RC shock absorbers so riders can tune damping without changing spring preload or ride height. The formula alters compression and rebound inside closed shock bodies, helping drivers tailor handling to different surfaces and driving styles.

To service shocks, drain the previous oil, clean the shaft and internals, then refill to the specified level with a syringe or filling tool. Move the shaft slowly to expel bubbles and confirm smooth, even travel before reinstalling the shock on the vehicle.

For setup changes, adjust viscosity step by step and evaluate the effect; higher viscosity increases damping and slows rebound, lower viscosity reduces damping and quickens response. Keep records of each oil swap to repeat successful setups during practice.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Yokomo items may have to order from the factory and the ready time is around 4-6 weeks. Customer purchases the item is assumed to accept the waiting time which allows us to order directly from the manufacturer if the item is out of our warehouse.

Is this oil suitable for both touring cars and buggies?

Yes. The 500cst viscosity makes it a versatile choice for many 1/10 scale touring and buggy shocks, offering a compromise between control and responsiveness.

What is the correct procedure to change shock oil?

Remove the shock from the car, expel the old oil, clean parts thoroughly, then refill to the recommended level using a syringe. Compress the shock slowly to remove air and check for even movement before refitting.

Will higher viscosity always improve stability?

Generally, higher viscosity increases damping resistance and can improve stability, but it may reduce responsiveness; test changes incrementally to find the best trade-off for your setup.
