Tamiya 42178 VG Damper Oil 50 - All-Round Shock Tuning Oil  [42178]

Improve Shock Response for Hobby Racing

The Tamiya 42178 VG Damper Oil 50 provides a predictable damping baseline for hobbyists and club racers. Its 50 viscosity gives a mix of control and compliance for many circuit types.

Balancing Softness and Stiffness

Lower viscosity oils permit greater wheel travel and softer impacts, while higher viscosities limit movement and sharpen handling. VG 50 sits between those extremes for versatile tuning.

Using VG Oils in Setup Work

When switching between circuits, carry a selection of VG oils to fine tune damping. Keeping consistent testing steps helps isolate the effect of oil changes from springs and geometry tweaks.
