Frequently Asked Questions

• What viscosity shock fluid do I need for my RC car? — The viscosity weight you choose depends on your driving style, track conditions, and suspension setup. The 25wt (275cSt) formulation is one of Team Associated's most popular options, suitable for a wide range of driving conditions and providing a good balance between responsiveness and damping consistency. Lighter fluids (like 10wt) provide more responsive feel but less damping, whilst heavier fluids (like 50wt) provide more damping but can feel sluggish. Most RC drivers keep multiple viscosity weights on hand to fine-tune their setup.
• Is this shock fluid compatible with my RC car? — This silicone shock fluid is compatible with any Team Associated RC vehicle that uses standard silicone shock fluid, including the B6.4, B6.4D, B7, B7D, B74.2, B74.2D, T6.4, SC6.4, and many other models. It will also work with other RC brands that accept standard silicone shock oil. Always check your RC vehicle's manual to confirm compatibility before use.
• How often should I change my shock fluid? — For regular recreational driving, shock fluid typically needs replacing every few months or when you notice the fluid becoming discoloured or thick. Competitive racers often service shocks more frequently, sometimes between rounds, to maintain optimal suspension performance. Having a larger 4oz bottle ensures you always have fresh fluid available when you need it.
• Why choose the 4oz size over smaller bottles? — Team Associated doubled the bottle size without doubling the price, making this 4oz bottle significantly more economical than purchasing multiple smaller bottles. This larger size is ideal for regular maintenance, setup changes throughout a racing season, and maintaining backup fluid in your workshop. You'll save money and have fewer supply interruptions when you need to service your shocks.
• What is the difference between silicone and other shock fluids? — Silicone-based shock fluids like this Team Associated formula provide superior thermal stability and consistent viscosity across temperature variations compared to some alternative fluids. The silicone construction resists viscosity breakdown during intense driving sessions, maintaining predictable damping characteristics essential for competitive RC racing.
• Can I mix different viscosity shock fluids? — It's generally recommended to use a consistent viscosity within your shocks for predictable handling characteristics. If you need to adjust damping, it's better to completely drain and refill with a different viscosity rather than mixing fluids. Having multiple viscosity options available allows you to dial in your setup for specific track conditions.
