- Available in a large range of viscosities from the lightest 100CST shock oil to the heaviest 500,000 CST diff oil.
- CST oil refers to the viscosity of oil, typically reported in centistokes (cSt) or mm2/s in SI units. It measures the resistance to deformation of a liquid and is used to indicate how easily the oil can flow.
- Estimates are given for comparison in WT / Viscosity of an Oil weight is a term used to describe the viscosity of an oil, which means how well it flows at a specific temperature. WT rating can be less accurate compared to CST due to WT being rated at an operating temp of around 210 degrees F - which is not the temp we see in our RC Shocks or possibly even the differentials. Oil is the same as CST, however there will be inaccuracies in estimates from around 100WT if used in parts that cause a change in temperature for conversion purposes only* (not confirmed).
- Extremely temperature resistant in both warm and cold conditions.
- Fully sealed bottles for best transport without leakage, and super easy to use lid for easy precise pouring.
- Large capacity 60ml bottle for less trips to the shops!
Effects of Differential Oil Adjustments:
Front Differential:
Using thinner oil:
Increases steering into corners (off-power)
If oil is too thin the steering may become inconsistent, especially it can lose forward traction (and steering) during acceleration out of corners
Using thicker oil:
Increases stability into corners during braking
Increases steering on-power at corner exit
Center Differential (IF HAS CENTER DIFF):
Using thinner oil:
Front wheels unload more during acceleration
Easier to drive on rough tracks
If a high-power engine is used you could waste too much power and sometime “cook” the oil in the center differential because it “overloads”
