Today, with all the modern lubes, is the Big Maru lube still worth the 19$?
I've tried a drop before. The cube reacted the same way.I'd say use less. Try that and let me know if that works.
Overlubing it will take a really long time to break inI don't know much about diff oil. I have Traxxas 50k, but it just slows down ALL of my cubes. Any tips?
The Traxxas 50k will slow down the cube for a little bit once you at it to the cube, but after doing 20-50 solves it will/should break in really nicely and speed up, although it will not be as fast as something like the SCS Martian lube, but still really nice. And I say this all with having used Traxxas 50k for a few years now, and have tried different things with it.I've tried a drop before. The cube reacted the same way.

The problem with it is that it never breaks in.The Traxxas 50k will slow down the cube for a little bit once you at it to the cube, but after doing 20-50 solves it will/should break in really nicely and speed up, although it will not be as fast as something like the SCS Martian lube, but still really nice.

Exactly! It keeps going back to being sticky like glue and it's annoyingThe problem with it is that it never breaks in.

I think I already said I tried that beforeExactly! It keeps going back to being sticky like glue and it's annoying
Maybe we should use 2-3 drops instead of dumping it in
could someone answer me?Today, with all the modern lubes, is the Big Maru lube still worth the 19$?
Yes!could someone answer me?
thank you very much! I have another question: what is better for core- wight 5 or lubicle black?Yes!
Personally, I think that you are better off with any other lube then Maru. Although Maru can speed up the cube for a bit right after applying it, it only lasts for so long before more is needed. But with any of the "Modern" lube such as DNM-37, Lubical Black, Martian, Galaxy, and even Traxxas 10-50k, those are all much better than Maru.
Additionally, Although most of the lubes mentioned above are a little more expensive then Maru for the amount in the bottle, they are worth the couple extra dollars, and they last much longer in the cube then Maru, plus you only need a couple of drops of lube in the cube, so even a small bottle will last a while. The only lube I think that compares to Maru (in quantity of lube for the price) is the Traxxas lubes. I got a large bottle of the 50k 3 years ago and I still have about half a bottle left, and I say that because the 50k is pretty thick and you only need a very small amount of it in the cube to speed it up, and even with a small amount, it will last forever.
Personally now I use the Traxxas for the core and SCS Martian for the pieces most of the time, but for certain cube or if I want a different feeling I will use the Traxxas 50k for the whole cube.
I hope this helps, but please ask more questions as you have them.
