Made in the USA exclusively for Team Associated by Lucas Oil Products Inc., this genuine shock oil ensures your RC suspension performs exactly as your manual and setup sheet specifies.
If you've ever struggled with mixing different shock oil weights to achieve the perfect viscosity, you'll appreciate what Team Associated brings to the table with this half-weight formulation. No more guesswork, no more failed experiments with multiple bottles — this 30-weight silicone shock oil gives you the exact viscosity you need, every single time. Available in a convenient 2 fluid ounce bottle with a spill-proof twist-cap design featuring a seal insert, it's designed for hassle-free transport and storage. For serious RC car UK competitors and weekend bashers alike, having the right shock fluid in your pit kit is non-negotiable for consistent lap times and repeatable setup work.
Team Associated has been an industry leader in RC engineering for decades, and their commitment to quality extends right down to their fluid formulations. This silicone shock oil is trusted by Team Associated across their entire range of vehicles — from the legendary RC10 platform through to the latest Apex models, Reflex buggies, Enduro trail trucks, and specialist platforms like the SR10 dirt oval car. If your RC manual or setup sheet specifies 30-weight silicone oil, this is the authentic choice that delivers the performance Team Associated engineers designed your suspension to achieve.
Key Features
- Genuine Team Associated Manufacturing — Manufactured in the USA exclusively for Team Associated by Lucas Oil Products Inc., ensuring authentic quality and consistency that matches the performance specifications your RC vehicle was engineered for, providing peace of mind when tuning critical suspension components.
- 30-Weight Silicone Formulation (350cSt) — Delivers precise 30WT viscosity without requiring you to mix different grades together, eliminating the guesswork and ensuring repeatable suspension setup and consistent damping characteristics across all your RC cars and multiple race sessions.
- Spill-Proof Twist-Cap Design — Features a seal insert and twist-to-open cap that prevents leakage during transport and storage, keeping your pit bag and RC carrying cases clean whilst maintaining the fluid's integrity and preventing contamination or oxidation.
- Perfect for Half-Weight Applications — This is a half-weight version specifically designed for situations where you need pure 30WT without mixing, making it ideal for vehicles that specify 30-weight shock oil in their manual or when building and refreshing RC shocks with precise viscosity requirements.
- Broad Vehicle Compatibility — Compatible with an extensive range of Team Associated platforms including RC10, RC8, RC12, SC10, TC series, B series buggies, T series touring cars, Apex competition models, Enduro trail trucks, Reflex buggies, Rival monster trucks, and many more — making this a universal choice for Team Associated owners.
- Professional Grade Quality — Designed for both building new shocks from scratch and refreshing or rebuilding existing shocks, delivering the consistent performance that competitive RC racing demands and that serious RC car UK enthusiasts expect.
Technical Performance
The 30WT silicone shock oil formula is engineered to provide stable damping characteristics across a wide range of track conditions and driving styles. With a viscosity rating of 350cSt (centistokes), this fluid delivers the medium damping properties that most modern RC suspensions require for balanced performance. The silicone formulation is superior to mineral oils in several respects: it maintains consistent viscosity across temperature ranges commonly experienced in RC racing, resists oxidation better than conventional mineral oils, and provides cleaner operation with less sludge accumulation in shock bodies. The 2 fluid ounce bottle size is perfectly calibrated for typical shock service applications — you'll get sufficient volume for complete shock rebuilds or refreshing multiple vehicles without waste. The seal insert technology in the twist-cap means your fluid remains uncontaminated between uses, protecting the integrity of the formulation. This is the authentic shock fluid that Team Associated engineers specify in their setup sheets and competitive documentation, meaning you can be confident that your suspension is performing exactly as intended by the designers who created your RC vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
- How much shock oil do I need to fully service four shocks on my RC car? — Based on typical shock capacities, you should get approximately two complete sets of four shocks from each 2 fl. oz. bottle, making this bottle suitable for a single full shock service on most 1/10 scale RC vehicles or half the shocks on larger platforms.
- Is this the right viscosity for my Team Associated RC vehicle? — If your Team Associated vehicle manual or setup sheet specifies 30-weight silicone oil, then this is the correct choice. This authentic formulation is made exclusively for Team Associated and delivers precisely the 30WT viscosity (350cSt) that your vehicle was engineered for, with no mixing required.
- What makes this better than mixing different weight oils together? — Mixing shock oils introduces multiple sources of error and inconsistency — measurement mistakes, incomplete blending, and batch variation. This half-weight formula eliminates all those variables and delivers guaranteed 30WT viscosity every time, enabling repeatable setup work and consistent performance across multiple race days.
- Why should I use genuine Team Associated shock oil instead of generic alternatives? — This fluid is manufactured in the USA exclusively for Team Associated by Lucas Oil Products Inc., ensuring it meets the exact specifications that Team Associated engineers used when developing your vehicle's suspension geometry and dampening curves. Generic alternatives may vary in viscosity, thermal stability, and damping characteristics, potentially causing unpredictable suspension behaviour and voiding any performance expectations from your setup sheet.
- Is this suitable for all Team Associated RC vehicles? — This 30WT fluid is compatible with an extensive range of Team Associated platforms including RC10, RC8, SC10, TC, B series, T series, Apex models, Enduro trail trucks, Reflex buggies, Rival monster trucks, and many others. Always check your specific vehicle manual to confirm your shock specification before purchasing.
- What is the difference between shock oil weight ratings? — Shock oil weight (measured in centistokes or cSt) determines how quickly the oil flows through shock absorber orifices, affecting suspension stiffness and damping response. Lower weights (like 20WT) allow faster oil flow for softer damping, whilst higher weights (like 40WT) restrict flow for firmer damping. 30WT represents a balanced middle ground suitable for most track conditions and driving styles.
- Can I store this shock oil for extended periods? — Yes, the seal insert in the twist-cap prevents contamination and oxidation, maintaining the fluid's integrity across extended storage periods. Keep the bottle in a cool, dry location away from direct sunlight to preserve the formulation's properties.
