Refine Shock Response with Kyosho SIL0400-8

Kyosho's SIL0400-8 Silicone Oil #400 comes in an 80cc bottle and is aimed at hobbyists seeking consistent damping and predictable shock behaviour across multiple setups.

How #400 Viscosity Changes Handling

Silicone oil sets shock damping; a #400 viscosity delivers firmer control that helps reduce bottoming while allowing controlled rebound, useful on mixed surfaces and heavier rigs.

Practical Tips for Best Results

  • Thoroughly clean shock bodies and seals before refilling to prevent contamination and foaming.
  • Tune oil weight with piston size and shock travel to match track conditions for improved traction.
  • Inspect and replace oil regularly to maintain consistent performance and extend component life.
Remark :
Due to limited stock availability, please notice that some Kyosho 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.

What vehicle types suit Kyosho SIL0400-8?

This oil works well in both on-road and off-road RC cars and is particularly useful for 1/8 and 1/10 scale models where a firmer shock feel is preferred.

How often should I change the shock oil?

Check oil after several running sessions or races; change it when you notice inconsistent damping, dirt contamination, or degraded rebound.

Can I mix #400 with other viscosities?

Yes, blending viscosities can create intermediate damping. Mix small test batches and evaluate on-track before refilling all shocks.
