Overview
The Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack (TRX5038X) is the ultimate solution for RC enthusiasts who demand organisation, precision and professional-grade maintenance for their RC models. Whether you're a competitive racer fine-tuning suspension on your 1/10 scale RC buggy, a weekend basher experimenting with different shock setups on your RC monster truck, or a serious hobbyist in the UK RC community, this carousel rack makes managing premium shock oils effortless and keeps your collection perfectly displayed. This isn't just a storage solution—it's a statement of your commitment to keeping your RC car in peak condition with the right oil viscosity for every track, weather and driving style.
Traxxas is recognised worldwide as the gold standard in RC manufacturing, and their premium silicone shock oils are engineered to deliver consistent, predictable suspension performance across all their vehicles. The Spinning Carousel Rack brings all seven essential viscosity weights together in one elegant, functional unit that spins smoothly and holds everything you need for complete shock tuning. Available in the UK through RC Model Shop, this carousel set includes a full assortment of 20wt, 30wt, 40wt, 50wt, 60wt, 70wt and 80wt oils—covering every suspension scenario from smooth tarmac circuits to rough off-road terrain.
What sets this carousel rack apart is its premium bearing spinner mechanism, which provides buttery-smooth rotation that makes selecting the perfect oil weight quick and intuitive. Instead of rummaging through drawers or shelves, you simply give the carousel a gentle spin and grab the exact viscosity you need in seconds. It's the kind of small luxury that transforms your RC hobby from frustrating to enjoyable.
Key Features
- Premium Bearing Spinner — The carousel is built with a high-quality bearing system that enables smooth, effortless rotation, so you can quickly access any of the seven shock oils without fumbling or wasting time looking for the right bottle during setup or tuning sessions.
- Holds Seven Bottles — The rack is precisely designed to hold all seven viscosity weights (20wt through 80wt) in dedicated slots, allowing you to organise your complete Traxxas oil collection in one compact, professional-looking unit that takes up minimal shelf space.
- Seven Precise Viscosity Weights — The set includes 20wt, 30wt, 40wt, 50wt, 60wt, 70wt and 80wt oils, giving you the full range needed for suspension tuning across different temperatures, track conditions and driving styles—from ultra-soft for technical courses to extra-thick for aggressive racing.
- 100% Pure Silicone Oil — Every bottle contains premium-grade 100% silicone oil that delivers maximum consistency and reliability, ensuring that your suspension performs predictably and responds exactly as expected during setup and racing.
- Precision-Pour Twist-Nozzle Cap — Each bottle features a specially designed twist-nozzle cap that allows controlled, mess-free pouring directly into shock bodies, eliminating spills and waste whilst making shock servicing quick and professional.
- Large 2 fl.oz Bottle Size — Each bottle holds a generous 2 fluid ounces of oil, which is enough to completely fill all four shocks on most RC models, so you can fully service your vehicle suspension without running out midway through the job.
- cSt Viscosity Specification — Each oil is precisely engineered to its specified centistoke (cSt) viscosity rating, guaranteeing consistent performance from every bottle and ensuring your suspension tuning remains reliable and repeatable across different track sessions.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack represents the culmination of decades of RC engineering expertise. The carousel itself is constructed to exacting tolerances, with a premium bearing system that ensures smooth, wobble-free rotation even after years of regular use. This is precision engineering at its finest—not some cheap plastic rack, but a purposeful tool designed for serious RC enthusiasts. The seven included shock oils represent the complete suspension tuning spectrum for modern RC vehicles. Whether you're running a Traxxas 4WD monster truck, a nimble 2WD buggy, or a high-speed stadium truck, these seven weights cover every possible setup scenario. The oils themselves are 100% pure silicone, meeting or exceeding OEM specifications for viscosity consistency. The cSt (centistoke) viscosity measurements ensure that whether you're pouring from bottle one or the last bottle in the set, you're getting exactly the same fluid characteristics. This matters enormously in RC racing, where suspension response must be predictable and reproducible lap after lap. The precision-pour twist-nozzle caps are engineered for controlled dispensing without the mess associated with standard caps, which is particularly important when you're working with viscous fluids in confined shock bodies. The generous 2 fl.oz bottle size means you'll rarely need to refill during a racing season, saving money and time.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Why do I need seven different viscosity weights of shock oil? — Different track conditions, weather and driving styles require different suspension damping. Softer oils (20wt, 30wt) provide responsive suspension for technical, bumpy tracks and cold weather. Heavier oils (60wt, 70wt, 80wt) increase damping for smoother tracks, hot weather and aggressive driving. By having all seven weights available, you can dial in suspension tuning precisely and adapt to changing conditions instantly.
- Is the Traxxas shock oil suitable for all RC vehicle types? — Yes, Traxxas premium silicone shock oil is engineered for use across the full Traxxas RC range, including monster trucks, buggies, stadium trucks, truggies, and other scale models. It's also compatible with most other quality RC suspension systems, making it a universal choice for the serious RC enthusiast in the UK.
- What does the precision-pour twist-nozzle cap do? — The twist-nozzle cap is specifically designed to control the flow of viscous oil into shock bodies without spilling or wasting product. Unlike standard caps that pour too freely or too slowly, the precision-pour design delivers controlled dispensing, making shock servicing cleaner, faster and more efficient.
- How much oil does each bottle hold, and is it enough? — Each bottle holds 2 fluid ounces, which is the standard amount required to completely fill all four shock bodies on most RC models. This means you can fully service your vehicle's suspension from a single bottle, without needing refills during regular maintenance or mid-season tuning.
- Why is this carousel rack better than just buying individual bottles? — The carousel provides three key advantages: first, it organises all seven weights in one professional-looking display unit; second, the premium bearing spinner makes selecting the right oil weight instant and effortless; and third, buying the complete set with the carousel is more economical than purchasing each weight separately, giving you better value for money as an RC enthusiast.
- Is 100% silicone oil important for RC shocks? — Yes, absolutely. 100% pure silicone oil provides superior consistency and stability compared to synthetic blends or mineral oils. This means suspension performance remains predictable across temperature changes, and the oil resists breakdown during intensive use, making it the standard choice for competitive RC racing and serious hobbyists who demand reliability.
- Can I use this carousel to display my oil collection? — Definitely. The Traxxas Spinning Carousel Rack is designed to look professional and purposeful, whether it's sitting on a workshop shelf, displayed at the track, or positioned on your RC hobby bench at home. It's both functional and visually appealing, making it a centrepiece for any serious RC collection.
