For RC tuners wanting predictable handling, the Tamiya 54418 Silicone Differential Oil is a solid choice. Its 500,000 viscosity is made to stiffen gear diffs so you get more consistent traction and stability on varied surfaces.
A denser silicone in the diff alters how torque transfers between wheels, cutting down on spin and boosting grip. This makes it handy for off-road tracks or tight circuits where controlled cornering and steady acceleration matter.
Make sure the diff internals are clean before adding oil. Carefully pour in Tamiya 54418, avoiding overfilling which can cause seepage or inconsistent performance. Regular checks and replacing the fluid when it degrades will maintain reliable diff action.
