Tune Shock Performance with Tamiya 54712 Silicone Oil 500

Precise damping adjustments make a big difference in R/C handling. This 40ml Tamiya 54712 Silicone Oil 500 bottle gives you enough fluid to test setups and keep oil-filled shocks performing consistently, especially when you want a stiffer feel.

Main Specifications

Brand: Tamiya
Viscosity: 500 (creates firmer damping)
Volume: 40ml for repeated maintenance
Compatibility: Compatible with standard oil-filled dampers
Color-Coded: Distinct colour per viscosity for quick selection

When should I choose 500 over lighter oils?

Choose 500 when you need stronger damping for flatter cornering and less squat on acceleration. It suits smoother tracks or when using stiffer springs.

Will 500 affect shock rebound and droop?

Higher viscosity slows both bump and rebound movement, reducing rebound speed and limiting droop. Tune spring rate and droop alongside oil changes for balance.

How much oil do I need per shock?

Fill according to your shock cap instructions, usually leaving a small air gap for compression. The 40ml bottle is enough for several rebuilds on common R/C sizes.

Any storage advice for silicone oil?

Store upright in a cool, dry place and keep the cap tight to prevent contamination. Avoid direct sunlight to preserve consistency over time.
