Frequently Asked Questions

• What viscosity grade should I choose for my RC car suspension? — The 50wt grade at 650cSt is considered a mid-weight shock fluid that works well across a broad range of RC car setups. If you find your suspension feeling too soft or bouncy, you might step up to a heavier viscosity. If it feels too stiff, you might try a lighter grade. The 50wt is an excellent starting point for most RC enthusiasts in the UK exploring suspension tuning.
• Is this shock fluid suitable for all RC car models? — This 50wt silicone shock oil is compatible with any RC car that uses standard silicone shock fluid, making it a versatile choice regardless of manufacturer. Team Associated designed it specifically for their models, but the mid-weight viscosity grade makes it suitable for fine tuning on many other RC car platforms.
• How often should I change my shock fluid? — The frequency depends on your usage intensity and whether you race competitively. Regular maintenance enthusiasts often change shock fluid before major races or after several months of regular use. The larger 4oz bottle size provided by this AS5480 makes regular fluid changes more economical and practical.
• Why is the 4oz bottle better value than smaller bottles? — Team Associated super-sized this bottle by doubling the volume without doubling the price, meaning you get exceptional value compared to buying multiple smaller bottles. This makes it ideal for racers who perform regular maintenance and need consistent access to quality shock fluid.
• What makes silicone shock oil better than other formulations? — Silicone-based shock oils maintain their viscosity properties more consistently across temperature variations, delivering reliable damping performance whether you're racing indoors or outdoors, and they're less likely to separate or degrade over time compared to some alternative formulations.
