Yeah Racing's high-quality silicone shock oil is suitable for all types of RC cars, from small micros to large 1/5 scale models. Specially formulated silicone shock oil ensures minimal viscosity change at high temperatures, resulting in more consistent handling for both cars and trucks. There is a large range of viscosities for use in differentials or shock dampers for on-road, drift, and off-road cars.

Why Use Oil

Using shock oil helps to promote the longevity of the vehicle. The purpose of the oil is to absorb shocks when the vehicle crashes. Many people use RC cars for racing, so crashes are rather common. Sometimes, cars come away from races in a state of disrepair but having shock oil can give the car an extra layer of protection.

How to Pick the Right One

The shock oil you will use depends on the type of RC car in which it will be used. Both motor oil and silicone-based oil can be used, but silicone-based oil is the best choice for most RC cars. When purchasing the shock oil for your RC car, you must consider the following factors:

1. The Car’s Weight

The general rule in the RC world is that the heavier your vehicle is, the higher the CST or WT of shock oil required. The RC car industry is filled with different shapes and sizes of RC cars, resulting in the development of many shock oils.

2. The Size of the Car’s Absorber

If the RC car has a small absorber, it will use less oil. The opposite is true as well—larger absorbers will use more oil. RC car absorbers come in various shapes and sizes. Check the size of your absorber before making your purchase.

3. The Stiffness of the Car’s Springs

All manufacturers make their products differently, so the springs within RC cars vary in stiffness. Therefore, spring stiffness is another crucial consideration. If the spring is already loose and bouncy, then not as much oil is required. For stiffer springs, you will need more oil.

Having Trouble Choosing?

While all RC cars are different, many common RC vehicles use the same CST or WT because of their similar designs. The following chart outlines some popular RC car models and the shock oil they require.

Why Choose Silicone Oil

Silicone is used for many purposes, but its use in shock oil is due to its exceptional lubricating properties. Keeping the parts of the vehicle that absorb impacts lubricated reduces the likelihood of maximum damage to these parts. Silicone-based shock oil is also better for the environment compared to motor oil.

Benefits of using Silicone Oil:

1. It is safer than motor oil.

2. Its lubrication is more effective than motor oil.

3. It is not flammable.

4. It is an electrical insulator, increasing the lifespan of your RC car.

5. It is usually cheaper than motor oil.

6. It is widely available, making it easier to find the right kind for your car.
