Dial In Suspension Performance with Tamiya VG Damper Oil 40

For modelers focused on suspension precision, Tamiya 42176 VG Damper Oil 40 delivers controllable damping characteristics. This silicone fluid enhances shock action for cleaner wheel contact and steadier cornering on a range of surfaces. With a 40 viscosity rating, it gives a middle-ground firmness for fine-tuning damper behaviour.

Why Tamiya VG Damper Oil 40 Works Well

This silicone oil lowers internal friction versus conventional oils, so shocks respond more smoothly and predictably. The 50cc bottle size is handy for multiple services and precise refills. Tuners will find the stable viscosity useful when making small incremental changes to setup.

Setup Tips and Track Use

Apply Tamiya VG Damper Oil 40 to adapt your suspension to track demands. It suits moderate to firm damping settings, helping maintain composure on rough patches while preserving compliance on flowing sections. Regular inspection of seals and shock internals helps preserve consistent damping.

A 40 weight slows shock movement enough to stabilise the car over small bumps without making the ride harsh, improving traction through choppy sections.
Mixing oils changes the final damping feel and is generally not recommended unless you know the target weight. Stick to a single well-known viscosity like 40 for predictable results.
Normal shock maintenance applies: clean internals, inspect seals, and replace oil if contaminated. Proper service keeps damping consistent and extends component life.
