Arrowmax am-210053 Silicone Diff Fluid is supplied in a 59ml bottle and specified at 1.600cst for use inside sealed differentials on scale RC cars, allowing changes to damping and traction without modifying gears or bearings.
Its effect is hydraulic: changing the oil viscosity alters torque transfer speed between wheels while cornering, accelerating and decelerating. The 1.600cst grade gives moderate damping to steady transient weight shifts while maintaining consistent on- and off-throttle behaviour.
Service is suitable for routine hobby maintenance: extract the diff from the chassis, disassemble the housing per the diff type, drain the old fluid, clean internal surfaces and refill to the recommended level. Use a clean workspace, absorbent towels and a small syringe or fill cup to prevent spills and air inclusions. Reassemble and run a few laps to confirm the setup before final adjustments.
Tuning advice: treat viscosity changes as fine adjustments and alter a single parameter at a time while logging outcomes. Match fluid selection with mechanical settings like slipper preload and gear mesh for balanced performance. Store the sealed bottle upright, capped, and away from direct heat to prolong shelf life.
Designed as a reliable consumable for diff tuning, this 1.600cst fluid gives consistent hydraulic control for drivers preferring oil-based adjustments.
