Oil-filled shocks give your RC car the best control over bumpy surfaces. For toy-grade RC cars, springs are used to absorb shocks, but they don\u2019t work so well and cause a very bouncy ride. So oil-filled shocks are the best, but what about the oil that goes inside? RC shock oil is a lot more expensive compared to shock oil for motorcycles, so is there a difference?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You can create homemade shock oil by mixing lubricants like transmission and engine oils designed for the automotive industry. You can even use plant-based oils like olive and sunflower oil, but those tend to be too thin and can leak out the shock. Chemicals like brake fluid will damage your shocks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
