The Yokomo RP-113425 RP Ultra Shock Oil #42.5 is a silicone fluid formulated for use in RC shock absorbers and dampers. Supplied in a 40cc bottle and identified by a blue tint, this mid-range viscosity option supports incremental tuning steps within the RP Ultra line.
Role in setup: This silicone oil alters the internal flow of shock assemblies to change compression and rebound characteristics. Using a different viscosity lets you tune handling without changing springs or pistons.
Installation and handling: Service shocks by following your shock maker’s disassembly procedure, drain the old oil, refill with the chosen viscosity, and bleed trapped air before reassembling. Keep the bottle sealed when not in use and avoid contaminating the fluid to maintain consistent damping.
Tuning notes: Choose RP Ultra Shock Oil #42.5 when you need a neutral, mid-level damping response. Make small steps between adjacent viscosities and record each change, since springs, piston configurations, and track surface also influence shock behavior.
