00:00Okay, real talk, if your buggy's bouncing like a pogo stick, or your crawler's diff is blowing
00:04out on the first rock garden, it's not your driving. It's your oil. I went down a serious
00:10rabbit hole this week hunting for the best shock and differential oils out there, and I found 5
00:15that punch way above their price tag. Let's get into it. Kicking things off is the RS Red Spider
00:22RC Car Lubricant, and this one's a little different, because it's a thick grease rather
00:26than a pourable oil. That's exactly what you want for differential gears, drive shafts,
00:31and servo gears where you need something that stays put and doesn't fling off under load.
00:35It's tacky, it's quiet, and it seriously cuts down on gear whine. At $7.64 with nearly 5,000 sold
00:44and
00:44a 4.7 rating, it's the kind of tub you buy once and it lasts you a whole season of
00:48builds.
00:49Next up, the OGRC 60ml Shock Absorber Oil. What I love here is the range,
00:55you can grab anything from 350 all the way up to 10 o'clock CST, so whether you're tuning a
01:01lightweight buggy or a heavy monster truck, there's a weight that fits. 60ml is a generous
01:06bottle too, plenty for multiple rebuilds. It's 585, it's got a 4.8 rating from over 4,500 buyers,
01:14and honestly, being able to fine-tune your damping without dropping 20 bucks a bottle is a huge win.
01:20Then we've got these RC Shock Absorber in differential oils in 350 through 800 weight,
01:25and this is the highest-rated one on the whole list at 4.9 stars.
01:29Big deal here is versatility, same bottle works in your shocks or your diffs,
01:34so you're not juggling two separate product lines. It pours clean, it's consistent bottle to bottle,
01:40and it doesn't foam up on you mid-run. $4.95. That is genuinely hard to argue with,
01:47especially if you're stocking a few different weights.
01:50Coming in at number 4, the RC Silicone Shock Absorbing in Differential Oil and this is your
01:55budget champion. $3.28. That's less than a coffee. It's pure silicone, so it's not going to swell your
02:05o-rings or eat your seals like some cheap mineral oils will, and it holds its viscosity even when
02:09your shocks heat up on a long run. 4,000 sold, 4.8 stars. If you're new to tuning and
02:16you just want
02:17to experiment with different weights without committing real money, start right here.
02:21And rounding out the list, this 59ml bottle that runs from 10 weight all the way up to 160 weight.
02:28Now that's the widest spread on the list by a mile, 10 weight for super plush crawler shocks,
02:33160 weight for locking up a diff on a heavy rig. If you think in weight instead of CST,
02:39this is your bottle. 563, 4.9 stars, and the fact that it's rated for shocks,
02:45diffs, and general lubrication means one bottle covers a lot of ground in your pit box.
02:50Alright, that's the 5. Every single link is sitting down in the description,
02:55so go grab whichever one fits your rig. If this helped you out, do me a favor,
