Team Associated FT Silicone Shock Fluid 45wt (575 cSt), 4oz (118mL) 5478

The Team Associated Factory Team (FT) Silicone Shock Fluid 45wt is a silicone-based suspension fluid designed for tuning and maintaining compatible RC vehicle shock absorbers. With a viscosity rating of 45wt (575 cSt) and a convenient 4oz (118mL) bottle, this shock fluid allows RC enthusiasts to adjust suspension damping according to their vehicle setup and driving conditions. Suitable for compatible oil-filled RC shocks, it is useful for routine maintenance, suspension rebuilding, and fine-tuning handling for racing or recreational driving. The larger bottle provides a practical supply for repeated shock servicing and setup adjustments. <Cite refs={["turn933958search3","turn933958search1"]}/>

FAQ

What is Team Associated FT Silicone Shock Fluid 45wt used for? It is used to fill or refill compatible RC shock absorbers and adjust suspension damping.

What does 45wt mean? The 45wt designation identifies the fluid's viscosity grade. This product is specified at 575 cSt.

How much fluid is included? Each bottle contains 4oz, approximately 118mL.

Can I use this shock fluid in any RC car? It can be used in compatible oil-filled RC shock absorbers, but the appropriate viscosity depends on the vehicle, shock design, and desired suspension setup. Check your vehicle manufacturer's recommendations before use.

Will 45wt shock fluid make my suspension stiffer? Compared with a lower-viscosity fluid, it generally increases damping resistance under comparable conditions. The actual handling effect depends on the shock design, piston configuration, springs, and vehicle setup.

Can I mix this with another shock-fluid grade? Mixing different grades may produce an unpredictable viscosity. For consistent tuning, use a single specified grade unless you are deliberately experimenting with suspension settings.

Is this differential oil? No. This product is identified as silicone shock fluid for shock absorbers. Use a separately specified differential fluid for applications that require differential oil.

What is the manufacturer part number? The Team Associated part number is 5478, and the supplier SKU is ASS5478.

Important Notes

• Confirm the recommended shock-fluid viscosity for your specific RC vehicle before servicing its suspension.

• The 45wt rating corresponds to 575 cSt for this product; weight ratings may not be directly comparable across all brands.

• Shock-fluid viscosity is only one factor affecting suspension performance. Shock pistons, springs, vehicle weight, and track conditions also influence damping.

• Follow the vehicle and shock manufacturer's instructions when disassembling, filling, bleeding, and reassembling shock absorbers.

• This product is intended for RC shock absorbers and is not a substitute for silicone differential fluid or other specialized lubricants.

• RC vehicle, shock absorbers, and maintenance tools are not included.
