Dial In Steering with Tamiya 54988 - 300000

Enthusiasts wanting sharper steering should consider the Tamiya 54988 - 300000 Silicon Differential Oil, formulated for sealed gear diffs to increase control and directionality. It is intended to make steering responses more consistent across run conditions.

Advantages of Using 300000 Viscosity

This 300000 grade is well suited to oil filled gear differentials where a thicker fluid improves front diff lockup characteristics and reduces understeer. The result is a firmer steering input that helps on tight or twisty circuits.

Using the 30cc Supply

The 30cc quantity gives enough oil for several differentials or repeated adjustments during setup sessions. The added traction benefits come from better power sharing across the wheels during acceleration and cornering.

No, silicon oil of this type is commonly used in hobby diffs and is compatible with standard rubber seals and plastic components when used as intended.
Higher viscosity can help balance torque between wheels, which may reduce wheel spin and improve traction on loose surfaces, though tyre choice also plays a major role.
Inspect diffs after demanding sessions and replace oil if contaminated or if handling has shifted. Regular checks keep performance consistent.
Yes, 30cc will cover several refills depending on your vehicle's differential capacity; plan refills and mixes accordingly when tuning multiple models.
