Product Name: RC Car Shock Oil
Specifications: 50ml*2
Product Features:
1. High-purity silicone oil
2. Stable damping
3. Anti-foaming and defoaming
4. Temperature resistant and non-viscous
5. Smooth and long-lasting lubrication
How to Use:
1. Remove the shock absorber and drain the old oil.
2. Thoroughly clean the shock absorber cylinder and piston assembly.
3. Inject the shock absorber oil and slowly pump the piston to expel air bubbles.
4. Install and test the rebound damping.
5.Please test in an inconspicuous area to confirm compatibility before applying the product.
Precautions:
1. Avoid contact with skin and eyes.
2. Use in a well-ventilated area.
3. Before filling the shock absorber, ensure that the old oil has been drained and the seals are clean and undamaged.
4. Store the bottle sealed in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight.
Q&A:
Q1: What does 1000CST mean? Does it mean harder or softer?
A: CST is a viscosity unit. The higher the number, the thicker the oil and the stronger the damping. 1000CST is a medium-to-high octane rating, with a relatively slower rebound speed. It provides stronger support during cornering and landing, making it suitable for heavier vehicles or roads with significant undulations. If you feel your current suspension is too soft and bottoms out easily, switching to this will significantly improve performance.
Q2: How long will one bottle last? How long can it be stored after opening?
A: One 50ml bottle can fill approximately 4-6 standard 1/10 shock absorbers (depending on shock absorber size). It is recommended to use it within 12 months of opening. After each use, remember to tighten the cap and wipe the bottle opening clean to prevent dust from entering.
Q3: What should I pay attention to when changing the oil?
A: A few details to remind you—Before changing the oil, be sure to completely drain the old oil and rinse the inside of the shock absorber with a cleaning agent to avoid mixing old and new oil, which will affect performance; When adding oil, push it in slowly and let it sit for a few minutes to allow air bubbles to rise and dissipate naturally. If air bubbles are not completely removed, the shock absorber will become soft and non-linear.
Q4: My car currently uses 350CST oil. What changes will I see if I switch to 1000CST?
A: There will be very noticeable changes: the shock absorber rebound will be significantly slower, resulting in a more stable ride, reduced body roll during cornering, and less bouncing after landing. However, the filtering of minor road vibrations will be weaker, leading to a more direct road feel. If you prioritize stable, road-hugging handling, this is an upgrade direction; if you prefer a more agile and responsive feel, 400-600CST might be more suitable. We recommend choosing based on your personal driving preferences.
Q5: Can I mix oils of different grades or brands?
A: We do not recommend mixing them. Mixing different grades results in uncontrollable viscosity and non-linear damping characteristics, essentially wasting good oil. If you need to adjust the damping feel, we recommend replacing the entire bottle with the corresponding grade of oil.
