For modellers wanting tighter diff control, Tamiya Silicone Oil 4000 offers predictable damping. It is formulated for oil-filled gear differentials to deliver a compromise between traction and corner exit speed.
Selecting the right viscosity alters weight transfer and tyre slip during turns. A high-viscosity product like the 4000 helps the car hold its line on fast sections, whereas lower viscosities suit technical, low-speed corners.
The product comes in a yellow plastic bottle holding 40cc of oil. That quantity is enough for around 22 differential refills on touring cars, so it covers repeated tuning sessions.
