Dial In Handling with Tamiya 42180 VG Damper Oil 60

For RC hobbyists aiming to refine suspension behavior, the Tamiya VG Damper Oil 60 is a dependable option. This silicone fluid delivers steady damping characteristics so you can tune shock response to match changing track surfaces. The 60 viscosity gives a balanced, firmer feel suited to many racing setups.

Compatibility and Typical Applications

This damper oil works with a broad range of oil-filled RC shocks, giving flexibility across touring, buggy and short course builds. Use it to tighten handling on smoother layouts or to stabilise the car at speed. The supplied 50cc bottle is enough for several rebuilds and routine adjustments.

How Viscosity Affects Shock Behaviour

Viscosity determines how quickly the damper moves and recovers. Lower numbers yield softer damping for rough tracks, while a 60 viscosity produces firmer resistance for improved control on fast sections. Choose viscosity to match your driving style and the surface conditions.

Most standard foam and plastic pistons are compatible with silicone damper oil, but check your shock maker's guidance for material compatibility before use.
Replace oil when it looks dirty, leaks past seals, or handling changes noticeably. For frequent racers a refresh every few rebuilds keeps damping consistent.
Mixing viscosities will change damping characteristics in predictable ways, but it is better to select a single target viscosity so tuning remains repeatable.
