A bit baffled here.... So I am starting a TA06 Pro kit and I am to fill the diff with Tamiya Diff fluid but they gave me clear Damper fluid. Is this the same stuff? I also got the yellow Damper fluid in the bag with the shocks, nothing out of the ordinary there. Either they forgot to give me the right stuff or gave me more Damper fluid by accident or is this correct.

Any help would be appreciated...........................Can anyone tell I am mostly a Vintage Tamiya Guy???

Not sure but I think that the clear damper fluid is for the diff. But really unsure. A little too recent for me.

Same here, thats what I get for trying something from this century! LOL

So I verified that you get some fluid in the kit that is 900 weight and the clear Damper fluid is 900 weight so I just used it.

Nothing blew up or caught on fire so I am good.............I think!! Thanks for chiming in Flo.

Yes, you are supposed to use the clear damper fluid in the diff. There is nothing fundamentally different about diff and damper fluid. Diff just tends to use higher viscosity.

Makes sense. thanks Blakbird.
