Anyone know what sort of WT the Tamiya (soft) oil is that comes with 54028 buggy dampers?

Thanks.

soft - red - 20
soft - orange - 30
soft - yellow - 40
medium - green - 50
medium - blue - 60
medium - purple - 70
hard - pink - 80
hard - clear - 90
hard - light blue - 100

get some much more oil, it's much better than the tamiya crap :thumbsup:

actually the Tamiya stuff is pretty good, just small bottles, but they are colour coded which makes it so you don't need to remember what weight oil went in lol

nice one :thumbsup:

That´s the kind of stuff I love ! Thank a lot !:lol:

Excellent

I have the 90wt then the clear bottle.
And the "stock" yellow soft for the rear.

I ran this setup and it worked great.

You do realise that makes noooo sense what so ever!!! :thumbsup:

YOUR ACE

BMag, do you run pistons with the 90wt oil or not bother? :confused:

I just use some gentlemans relish in mine after bmags advice:thumbsup:

do you run cheese graters or pistons

Not correct!!

#300 IS NOT 30WT

I always run AE or Losi oils. The Losi oils are color coded AND have weights printed outside the bottle on the label. It even has the weight printed on the bottle cap.

The AE oils have a HUGE weight printed on the label...

If you had lived in Japan or knew japanese people...you'd understand that what they do is not exactly a crap. ..

I use AE only

WOW GUYS! This thread is a total FAIL! I'm suprised you guys would sticky the first bit of nonsense someone posted.

Tamiya oil is measured in CST (centistrokes), a WORLDWIDE STANDARD In no way is a 900cst damper oil anything like a 90wt. In fact, "Weight" is not a universal standard, so you cannot compare one brand of oil's "weight" to another without actually measuring it. Every companies 30wt oil will be quite a bit different. Yes, this goes for motor oil as well...

Here's a little article for you:

You said it!! Comparing CST to WT is very tricky and no where close to what was posted in this thread..

do not bother with the Tamiya shock oil

build the shocks as per Tamiya instructions and then

put associated 40 weight in the front and associated 30 weight in the rear for a good balance. works a treat at my local club.
