Tune Your RC Dampers with Tamiya 54709 Silicone Oil 350

Changing damper oil viscosity is a direct way to refine handling. The Tamiya 54709 Silicone Oil 350 in a 40ml bottle lets you experiment with different damping rates and is compatible with all oil-filled shock designs.

Practical Bottle and Colour System

The 40ml volume gives enough oil for repeated tweaks without frequent top-ups. The colour-coded system makes it quick to identify viscosities in a busy pit box and reduces the chance of using the wrong grade during setup changes.

Viscosity Effects on Suspension Behaviour

Viscosity numbers reflect oil thickness: higher numbers yield firmer damping and less body motion, which suits smoother circuits, while lower numbers provide softer, more absorbent suspension for rough or loose layouts.

Yes. The formulation is suitable for both vintage style oil-filled shocks and current damper designs as long as they are oil-type dampers.
Mixing is possible but will change the final damping curve; it is usually better to try discrete steps of viscosity to evaluate handling before blending.
Refill counts depend on shock size, but a 40ml bottle typically covers many top-ups for standard 1/10 scale shocks used in club running.
Fill slowly, compress the damper shaft gently to expel air and wipe excess oil away before sealing to reduce bubbles and ensure consistent damping.
