Fine Tuning Dampers with Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55

Enthusiasts looking for balanced handling will find the Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 useful for adjusting shock feel. This silicone oil helps you set damper behaviour to suit track grip and surface changes.

Viscosity and Its Effect on Handling

The Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 is provided in a 50cc bottle and lets you tweak shock performance. A 55 viscosity rating gives a moderate level of damping, with higher figures offering firmer responses for rougher tracks.

Practical Setup Tips

Use this oil when you need to refine rebound and compression to match the surface. Applying Tamiya 42179 VG Damper Oil 55 can improve consistency across laps whether the layout is tight or flowing.

It is primarily aimed at 1/10 scale shock systems; larger scales may need different volumes or viscosities so check your shock specs.
Oil viscosity changes damping, not spring rate or static ride height, though perceived stiffness on bumps will vary.
After filling, compress the shock several times while tapping to release trapped air, then top up as needed for consistent damping.
With normal running and good maintenance, silicone oil can last many sessions, but replace it if it darkens or debris appears.
