Default Tamiya Shock oil

I have been looking some time now for a Comparison chart for TAMIYA oil with other brands, preferable Asso Shock Oil.
On several attemps I have not found such a chart.
I found others, comparing other brands of shock oil, but never comparing with Tamiya oil.

Now .. from what I learned about these oils and the ways they are "typed" ... I might think the numbers Tamiya uses, might be the sameas the Cts-value (Centistokes, see here )

If so, I could compare themwith other charts giving the Cts-valueofother brands of oil, as I found here

Does anyone have some more info on this?

I believe the Tamiya oils are on that scale. But I would also say that it is best to use all your shock oils from the same manufacturer.

yup, that's why I plan to switch to Asso Oil, which I already use for my B4 and other buggies.
But, I do have some setups for my Tamiya-car and the shock-oil makes an important role in this, that's why I would like to know which Asso oils are similar to Tamiya-oils 300, 400, 500, 600, 700 and 800

Well, you already posted a link with a comparison so I think you have answered your own question!

?? sorry?
I posted a link to a page where different brands of oil are compared and where the Cts-values are given.
On this webpage, there is nothing mentioning something about Tamiya

... or did I miss it and you saw something about Tamiya-oil?

Also, I can nowhere find on what the Tamiya-Oil-typing was based. I suspect it was based on Cts-values ... but can not find anything or someone who, what can confirm this.

So I do not understand, how I can answer my own question, sorry!

Hi,

Much better page here http://www.twf8.ws/php/index.php?opt...per&Itemid=175

in the end wt means jack.

tamiya is most probably following the cts scale since the values are in the correct range and it originates from japan.

the info on the page would give you enough info to correctly mix for any occasion!

Even includes temperature compensation!!!!

Cheers
