standard shock oil bottle size

[gkatz]

Hi all

I remember when buliding my neo scorcher I had 1 bottle of shock oil to fill all 4 shocks. (see pic below from another unboxing vid")
i was wondering if anyone knows if it was a 20ml single bottle like you see here: https://tamico.de/Tamiya-53443-Soft-Oil-200300400

or a bigger one with 40ml like this one: https://tamico.de/TAMIYA-54714-Silikon-Oel-600-40ml

I am not talking about the oil weight just the bottle size... will a small single bottle fill most tamiya standard 4wd shocks? would a large bottle only fill it?

thanks

What 4WD are you talking about? TT-02 (55mm x 4), buggies (70mm x 1/2 + 90mm x 2) or monster trucks (100mm x 4/8)? 20ml should do a buggy with little to spare however these days, I just get big 60 - 80ml bottles from other brands, cheaper.

(Lengths are approximate and of course varies by chassis)

thanks, was tlaking about standard 4WD buggies like the neo scorcher. hot shot etc

@alvinlwh any reason I should buy branded oil as oposed to non branded cheaper ones?

@gkatz what matters the most is probably to avoid mixing and matching brands to make sure a labeled 400 brand A is going to be less than a labeled 500 brand B and so on. For us in the US Tamiya is sometimes the cheapest for shock oil at 6$ a bottle on AMain. An additional benefit is that the viscosity will line up with the little bottles that comes with your Tamiya dampers set or car kit (these are either 400 yellow, 900 clear or 3000 slightly pink/orange hue).

Yah, when I started out, numbers matter, but now I start to get a feel of things.

I do aspire to become that good, one day.
