Tune Your Gear Differential with Silicone Oil

If you want to dial in your RC's handling, the Tamiya 54418 Silicone Differential Oil gives a dependable way to alter diff response. The 500,000 viscosity rating is intended to firm up the gear differential for steadier control and reduced slip across mixed surfaces.

Benefits of Using High Viscosity Silicone

Fitting a high-viscosity silicone into your diff changes how power is split between wheels. It helps curb unwanted wheelspin and adds traction, which is useful for rough tracks and competitive events. Adjusting the oil lets you balance cornering grip and throttle feel to match your driving style.

Practical Application and Maintenance Advice

Before filling, clean the differential housing thoroughly to avoid contamination. Slowly add Tamiya 54418 Silicone Oil, taking care not to overfill as that can cause leaks or uneven behaviour. Periodic checks and fresh oil when performance drops will keep your diff working as intended.

Yes. Tamiya 54418 is suitable for most gear differentials that accept silicone oil, especially where a heavy fill is desired to reduce slip.
Check the oil after several runs or races and inspect for dirt or thinning; replace it when handling feels inconsistent or after heavy use.
Yes. Higher viscosity tends to slow differential action, which can smooth power delivery and reduce sudden oversteer, influencing acceleration behavior in corners.
