Improve Shock Control with Tamiya VG Damper Oil 40

Dedicated RC tuners can rely on Tamiya 42176 VG Damper Oil 40 to refine suspension response. This silicone oil helps shocks absorb impacts more smoothly and supports steadier handling across diverse surfaces. At a viscosity of 40, it offers a useful midpoint for adjustable damper setups.

Performance Advantages

The silicone formulation in Tamiya VG Damper Oil 40 reduces friction and promotes consistent shock behaviour compared with mineral oils. The 50cc bottle is practical for multiple services and precise dosing. Its predictable flow characteristics assist tuners in achieving repeatable setups.

Practical Advice for Tuning

Use this oil to tune damping for the specific course you are running. The 40 weight favours moderate to firm damping, balancing stability through turns with the ability to soak up rough terrain. Keep seals and pistons clean to maintain steady damping action.

Match oil weight to track conditions and driving style. Lighter oils suit smooth tracks and responsive handling, while heavier oils like 40 give firmer control on rough or high-speed courses.
Yes, VG Damper Oil 40 can be used on a range of vehicles with oil-filled shocks. It is versatile for many track types when paired with the right spring rates and valving.
If damping feels inconsistent, you hear foaming, or contaminants appear in the oil, service the shocks and replace the fluid to restore reliable performance.
Yes, it works with most aftermarket oil-filled shocks. Confirm the kit accepts silicone oils and follow recommended fill volumes.
