Fine Tune Dampers with Tamiya 54713 Silicone Oil 550

If you want tighter control over suspension response, switching damper oil viscosity is a simple, effective step. This 40ml bottle of Tamiya silicone oil 550 gives hobbyists enough volume for repeated adjustments and neat storage compared to smaller bottles.

Understanding the 550 Rating

The 550 figure denotes a heavier viscosity, producing firmer damping. That firmer feel helps when running on smoother tracks or paved surfaces, and the colour coding helps keep different weights organised during maintenance.

Suitable Vehicles and Use

Tamiya 54713 Silicone Oil 550 works with any oil-filled damper setup, so it fits buggies, trucks and on-road cars. Use it to stiffen rebound and compression where a firmer suspension is preferred.

Mixing is possible but will change the final damping behaviour. If you need an intermediate feel, blend small amounts and test on a controlled run before committing to a full fill.
Fill volumes vary by damper design, but most RC shock bodies take under 10ml. A 40ml bottle like OP-1713 covers multiple shocks and spare top-ups.
Warm the oil slightly and fill slowly while compressing the shock to purge air. Tap the shock body gently after filling to coax out trapped bubbles.
