Precise Shock Tuning with VG Damper Oil 25

For modelers focused on suspension setup, the Tamiya 42173 VG Damper Oil 25 delivers reliable silicone damping. It refines shock action to absorb impacts and stabilise the chassis during cornering and acceleration. The 25 rating gives a neutral damping feel suitable for many setups.

Configure Dampers for Performance

This VG option makes it simple to alter damper behaviour by swapping viscosities. Fine-tuning rebound and compression lets you control weight transfer and maintain tyre contact on demanding layouts.

Key Features

Viscosity: 25 for balanced performance
Volume: 50cc bottle for multiple uses
Material: Silicone-based for reduced friction
Application: Suitable for a wide range of RC models

How do I choose oil weight for my track?

Start with a middle weight like 25 and adjust up or down based on how the car rolls and recovers. Softer oils help grip on low traction, heavier oils stabilise on high speed runs.

Is special equipment needed to change oil?

A small syringe or damper pump makes filling easier and cleaner, and a paper towel will catch spills. No specialised tools are required beyond basic shock disassembly tools.

Should I replace oil after heavy use?

Yes, inspect oil after extended running or if you detect slower rebound. Replace when contaminated or when performance drifts to keep consistent damping.
