Technical Performance
The Fastrax Racing Pure Silicone Oil 90Wt is engineered to provide precise damping characteristics for shock absorbers and differentials across all types of competitive RC vehicles. At 90 weight, this oil delivers medium-to-heavy viscosity suitable for high-speed driving, aggressive cornering, and demanding track conditions. Pure silicone construction ensures the oil maintains consistent viscosity across temperature variations, a critical factor when driving in the unpredictable UK climate or in competitive environments where conditions can change rapidly. The 90Wt formulation strikes the perfect balance between flow and damping force, allowing energy to be dissipated smoothly through suspension components whilst maintaining responsive handling characteristics. This weight is particularly effective for drivers who run lower-spring rates or prefer a more compliant suspension setup. The oil's exceptional stability means you can rely on consistent performance throughout a race meeting or extended driving session, with no degradation in damping properties as temperatures rise. Whether you're tuning a 1/10 scale RC buggy, 1/8 scale truggy, or crawler, the 90Wt viscosity provides the control needed for precision driving and competitive advantage.

The extensive Fastrax range lets you experiment and find the perfect weight for your specific RC vehicle and track conditions.

Beginners will benefit from the exceptional consistency and precision tuning capabilities, making it easier to dial in the perfect setup for their RC car UK experience.
- What makes pure silicone oil better than standard shock oil? — Pure silicone oil offers superior consistency across temperature ranges and driving conditions, meaning your RC car's suspension will respond predictably whether you're driving in the heat of summer or the cool UK autumn. This consistency is why professional drivers prefer silicone oils for competition.
- Can I use this oil in any RC car? — This oil is suitable for shock absorbers and differentials in any RC car, truck, buggy, crawler, or truggy. Always check your vehicle's manual for recommended viscosity specifications, though the 90Wt weight is a popular choice across most modern RC vehicles.
