Technical Performance
TLR Silicone Shock Oil has been engineered with precision to meet the exacting demands of competitive RC racing and serious hobbyist driving. The 32.5WT viscosity classification combined with the 379CST kinematic viscosity specification creates a fluid that performs consistently across the temperature ranges typically encountered at RC racing events and practice sessions throughout the UK. This silicone-based formulation provides superior damping stability compared to conventional shock oils, maintaining its characteristics even under the intense forces generated by high-speed turns, jumps, and aggressive driving manoeuvres. The oil's chemical composition resists degradation from the extreme pressures and temperatures that develop inside RC shock absorbers during competition use, ensuring that your suspension tuning remains stable lap after lap. Whether you're running a brushless 1/10 scale buggy or a larger scale nitro-powered RC truggy, this shock oil delivers the consistent performance that separates winning setups from mediocre ones. The premium silicone formulation also provides excellent compatibility with standard RC shock seals and internal components, minimising the risk of leakage or seal degradation that can compromise suspension performance and create safety issues on the track.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What is the correct shock oil viscosity for my RC buggy or truggy? — The 32.5WT viscosity of this TLR product is a popular mid-range specification suitable for many RC buggies and truggies, particularly for drivers who want balanced damping characteristics and good all-around performance. However, lighter oils (such as 25WT) provide softer damping and are preferred on bumpy tracks or by drivers seeking more aggressive suspension movement, whilst heavier oils (such as 40WT or 50WT) provide stiffer damping for smoother tracks or drivers who prefer a more controlled, stable feel. Always consult your specific RC vehicle's manual or manufacturer recommendations to ensure you're using the correct viscosity for your particular model.
- Why is silicone shock oil better than standard oil for RC cars? — Silicone-based formulations like this TLR product offer superior stability and consistency compared to conventional oils, resisting degradation from the extreme pressures and temperatures that develop inside RC shock absorbers. This means your suspension tuning remains stable across your entire race day rather than changing as the oil heats up or experiences stress from aggressive driving.
- How often should I change my RC shock oil? — For competitive racing, many drivers refresh their shock oil every few race meetings or after 5-10 hours of driving time to ensure consistent performance. For casual weekend bashing with your RC car UK, you may only need to refresh shock oil once or twice per season unless you notice performance degradation or visible oil discolouration.
- Will this TLR shock oil work in all RC vehicles? — This product is compatible with any RC buggy, truggy, or other vehicle that uses damper-style shock absorbers with standard seals. However, always verify that the 32.5WT viscosity is appropriate for your specific vehicle, as some models may require different weights for optimal performance.
- How much shock oil do I need for my RC vehicle? — Typical RC buggies and truggies require approximately 8-12ml of shock oil per shock absorber, so a 4oz bottle provides sufficient quantity for multiple refills and tuning adjustments across several shock assemblies.
