Dial in Suspension Precision with Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55

For RC enthusiasts chasing sharper handling, the Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 delivers a silicone option to fine-tune suspension response. It is aimed at hobbyists who want to tailor damper behavior to specific track or terrain conditions.

How Viscosity Changes Shock Response

The Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 is supplied in a 50cc bottle and gives you control over shock absorption. With a viscosity of 55 you get a middle ground between soft and stiff damping, where higher numbers produce firmer suspension reaction for different surfaces.

Recommended Uses and Setup Notes

This oil suits racers and weekend drivers adjusting settings for rough or smooth layouts. Using Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 helps keep handling consistent and stable when you change track conditions.

This oil is well suited to most 1/10 scale conventional oil-filled dampers and is compatible with standard silicone shock setups.
Mixing close viscosity grades can produce intermediate damping, but mix carefully and test on the bench to confirm the result before racing.
Periodically strip the shocks, inspect seals and shafts, and replace oil if it becomes cloudy or contaminated to keep performance consistent.
