weight 3 is 30k I'm pretty sure

 

[Camilo Chapman]

Sorry I mean 3k

 

[martywolfman]

Well, if you mean 3k centistrokes (the unit of measure for viscosity) then that pretty much falls between 2 of the ones I currently offer.

The 5k is very hjeavy and thick. The 1k is a medium viscosity fluid. I would like to add another in the middle, because that is a large difference between the 1k and 5k, but they are more expensive from my supplier, as they have to makle them specially. So I chose the ones I did, to se how they sell, if they are selling ok, I will expand the range

Traxxas 50k is equalivient to weight 5 if I got it right but I'm not sure

 

[Kotra25]

But they may not measure in the same way as you

Yeah thats right.

 

[Camilo Chapman]

I could buy traxxas but I'd like to support your store and test it out. I'll probably wait until my lube runs out and try yours

I'll get some and hopefully I can get back to you with advice.

They are the same substance, they just vary in their viscosity, or how thick they are. You're more likely to want one of the two thinner varieties if you only want to get one. I would suggest the 1k version would be best to begin with, as it's the middle of the range. If you decide you want something thicker to lube the core at a later date, you can try that then, but the thinner ones will lube the core too, it's just that some people recommend using a thicker variety for the core.

You wouldn't want to use the thick one for the cube in general, unless you wanted to slow a cube down slightly, to make it more controllable.

I would suggest the 1k as a good starting place for anyone new to these kind of lubes.

Agreed, less viscous is best for lubing the pieces. I tried traxxas 50k on the pieces of a cube once and it felt like I'd put glue in the cube.

Edit:
I just broke my 4x4 so I may be placing an order soon.

 

[Kotra25]

Note that I lube som cubes by overlubing them with heavy lube and then break in with a few hundred Sölves which will end up with a smooth cube that still has it's speed.

Well, it sucks that your cube broke, but it would be good to have your business of course
