The point
Whatever you drive, wherever it goes.
Track, garden, woods, scale crawl, race night. Different cars, different surfaces, the same problem — the build has to keep working. That's what the bottles are for.
Rhodex is a British RC lubricants brand. We make shock oils, diff oils, greases and the Heliox aerospace line, all formulated and bottled in the UK.
A lot of what gets sold as "RC lubricant" is an industrial product in a smaller bottle, often with a different label depending on which brand is reselling it. We started Rhodex because that's not really good enough for setup work — the variation between batches makes consistent tuning harder than it needs to be.
So every Rhodex product starts from the RC application — a shock piston working at a particular temperature, a diff that needs a specific feel, a plastic gear that can't be touched by petroleum greases — and the formulation is built to suit. We don't repackage industrial oil.
All Rhodex formulations are made in Britain. We control the batches and the QC, which is the practical reason for it — what ships matches what's on the label, and the next bottle of 400 cSt behaves like the last one.
59 products across six groups:
Twenty shock oil viscosities is more than most brands stock. The reason is straightforward: tuning shocks well means stepping in 50 cSt increments, and we'd rather you grab the exact bottle than have to blend two together (which doesn't work cleanly with silicone anyway — see the viscosity guide).
The Silicone Performance Fluid is the top-selling RC silicone shock oil on Amazon. Repeat purchases are most of that ranking — the bottle does what it says, batch after batch, which is what people come back for.
Rhodex is stocked at Lubricants Hub, our retail partner. They carry the full range and ship internationally. Buying through them means it's the genuine product — counterfeits exist in this category and the easiest way to avoid them is going through the authorised retailer.

The practical stuff behind the products.
The label number is the bottle number. No "approximately" — that's the point of having 20 steps.
Ball diff grease is different from thrust grease. Plastic gear grease is silicone-based. No catch-all "multi-purpose" oil pretending to do everything.
UK manufacturing and QC. The next bottle should behave the same as the last one, which is what setup repeatability actually needs.
Each product has the viscosity, the temperature range, the material compatibility. The numbers are the point.
Heliox uses aerospace-grade chemistry — but only on parts that justify the cost (high-RPM ceramic bearings, severe-load gears). For everything else, the standard lineup is the right call.
