The choice of oil weight depends on the type of remote control car, its weight, and the suspension setup. Heavier oils are used in heavier cars and those with softer suspension, while lighter oils are used in lighter cars and those with stiffer suspension.
It's important to refer to the manufacturer's recommendations for the specific oil weight and type suitable for your remote control car. Using the wrong oil can affect the performance and handling of the vehicle.
Here are some of the most commonly used shock oils for remote control cars:
- 10 weight: Very thin oil, suitable for very lightweight cars or extremely smooth tracks.
- 20 weight: Thin oil, often used for on-road racing or low-grip conditions.
- 30 weight: Medium-weight oil, suitable for a wide range of cars and track conditions.
- 50 weight: Medium-thick oil, often used for off-road racing or higher-grip conditions.
- 100 weight: Very thick oil, typically used for heavy cars or very bumpy tracks.
It's worth noting that some remote control cars may use different types of oils, such as silicone oil or mineral oil. Always refer to the manufacturer's recommendations when selecting the appropriate oil for your vehicle.
