Tamiya 42178 VG Damper Oil 50 - Precision Track Tuning Oil  [42178]

Fine Tuning Your RC Suspension

The Tamiya 42178 VG Damper Oil 50 gives hobbyists a reliable tool to adjust damper response. This 50 viscosity silicone oil helps you refine rebound and compression settings to suit specific track conditions.

How Viscosity Influences Handling

Viscosity determines shock response: lower numbers let the damper move more freely for softer, more absorbent behaviour on rough surfaces, while higher numbers stiffen response for tighter control on smooth tracks. The VG 50 is positioned as a balanced option for mixed surfaces.

Applying the Oil in Race Setups

Racers who change setups between heats will find this oil useful for quick tuning. Using a consistent range of Tamiya VG oils helps you compare settings and achieve the right compromise between stability and responsiveness.
