The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Ultimate Control for Your Rear Suspension! When it comes to dialing in the handling of your 1/28 scale pan car, managing the rear pod's roll rate is absolutely critical. The 1M CST Damping Grease from Reflex Racing is an ultra-thick, high-viscosity lubricant specifically designed to tame the rear suspension on chassis like the FX28. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider this grease a secret weapon for racers who need to smooth out their car's reaction over bumps and during aggressive cornering.
Tame the Track with Precision Damping In micro RC racing, we often use friction damping instead of traditional oil-filled shocks to control chassis roll. By applying this 1,000,000 cSt grease to the hinge pins of your rear suspension, you create a smooth, hydraulic-like resistance. This slows down the weight transfer of the rear pod, preventing the car from snapping loose or feeling overly twitchy when transitioning through chicanes. The result is a planted, highly predictable rear end that gives you the confidence to push your lap times.
A Little Goes a Long Way Because this damping grease is incredibly thick, a single tub will last you countless race days. It stays put exactly where you apply it, meaning less mess and more consistent damping from the first lap of your qualifier to the final tone of the main event.
Key Features & Technical Specs:
Ultra-High Viscosity: 1,000,000 CST rating provides heavy damping for maximum stability and roll control.
Targeted Application: Specifically formulated for use on the FX28's rear suspension hinge pins.
Versatile Tuning: Perfect for any 1/28 scale chassis utilizing friction tubes, discs, or kingpins that require heavy damping.
Consistent Performance: Stays in place during operation to ensure your car handles exactly the same throughout an entire race.
Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: When applying 1M CST grease to your hinge pins or friction tubes, remember that less is often more! Start with a very light coating. If you apply too much, your rear pod will bind up and won't return to center quickly enough, causing the car to handle sluggishly. Always make sure to thoroughly clean off the old, dirty grease with motor spray before applying a fresh coat. A perfectly damped rear pod is the key to locking your car into the groove and hitting your marks lap after lap!
