Tamiya 54418 RC Silicone Differential Oil 500000 OP-1418 Off-Road Tuning  [54418]

Improve Gear Diff Control with Silicone Oil

Serious RC tuners can use the Tamiya 54418 Silicone Differential Oil to fine-tune handling. The 500,000 viscosity rating firms the diff's feel, helping to maintain traction and reduce unwanted wheelspin on rough surfaces.

Effects of Using a Thick Silicone

Adding a heavier silicone changes torque distribution in the differential, which can stabilise corner exits and smooth throttle inputs. This is particularly useful for buggies and trucks used on loose dirt or rough grass.

Best Practices for Filling and Care

Clean the differential thoroughly before filling to avoid trapping debris. Add Tamiya 54418 carefully and do not overfill to prevent leaks or inconsistent behaviour. Schedule regular inspections and replace the oil when performance starts to drop.
