Tune the power delivery of your RC car with this genuine 5,000cst Differential Grease. Although Kyosho labels this as "Grease," it is technically a medium-viscosity Silicone Oil designed for filling sealed gear differentials.
This 5,000cst weight is one of the most versatile fluids in the pit box, serving as a standard "middle-of-the-road" setup for many 1/10 and 1/8 scale vehicles. It provides a moderate amount of resistance to the internal gears, balancing straight-line acceleration with cornering rotation.
Key Features
-
Consistent Viscosity: Rated at exactly 5,000 cst (Centistokes), ensuring your diff action remains predictable and doesn't change halfway through a race due to heat.
-
Temperature Stable: Pure silicone formulation resists thinning in high heat or thickening in cold weather.
-
Compact Container: Comes in a 15g plastic pot (approx 15-20cc) with a screw-top lid, making it easy to scoop out or pour into small 1/10 scale diffs without wasting a huge bottle.
Tuning Guide: What is 5,000 cst used for?
In the world of diff tuning, 5,000 is considered a Medium weight.
-
Front Diff (Standard): This is the "Go-To" standard oil for the Front Differential of many 1/10 scale buggies and Short Course trucks. It pulls the car out of corners well without killing steering.
-
Center Diff (Standard): Very common in the Center Differential of 1/8 scale buggies for loose/bumpy tracks where you want the power to unload to the front wheels easily to keep the car straight.
-
Rear Diff (High Traction): Sometimes used in the rear on high-grip carpet tracks to stabilize the car.
Compatibility
-
Universal: Works in any Sealed Gear Differential from any brand (Kyosho, Team Associated, TLR, Mugen, Traxxas, etc.).
-
Note: Do NOT use this in "Ball Diffs" (which need heavy sticky grease) or unsealed transmissions.
