Viscosity of Lubix Found! Cheaper Alternative!

[Squishypants]

There is no way there was still any of my Traxxas 50k diff oil in there. I washed and scrubbed it off with soap, and even let it soak.





This is exactly the same one I have. Traxxas 50k silicone diff shock oil, and the one I've been recommending to people.




Are you serious?!

My 50cc for $9 Traxxas isn't a saving, compared to Lubix's 8cc for $20?!
I hope you're just trying to be funny here, cause there is no way you can be serious.

EDIT: I see you were already corrected about the 50cc. I posted before reading all the other posts.

Right, from the pic I had, it looked about the size of a bottle of maru lube... I was very happy to be proven wrong.

Here's the one I bought, It just doesn't look like 50cc:

Here is a pic of a 50CC syringe, with a glove for perspective(the one on the bucket):

I don't think that bottle looks that big... ??

should've put a cube next to it for perspective. But yeah that saves you a ton of money.....

I just googled '50cc syringe' on the net

After using Lubix in my A5, the feeling was exactly the same to the A5 with Traxxas 50k diff oil. The turning, the sound, the smoothness, the speed, everything.

Sweet!

I do hope this is more or less the same stuff, as lubix is a REALLY good lube, no question. It's improved almost every cube I own, and made some almost unusable they're so slick. But a little syringe of it gets used up pretty quick.

With regards to lubix - go for it if you can afford it (or MUST have it).

Know this: you won't feel the pinch everytime you relube your cube with diff oil.

 

[Squishypants]

Well if this IS the same stuff, I can't say I'm too happy having paid $15 + shipping for 50¢ worth of product and a .27¢ 5cc luer lock syringe (I used to work in medical supplies at a hospital) , and a vinyl sticker. I like to see a guy make a profit and be an entrepreneur, but.....



edit: oh forgot... .05¢ for an XT-18 luer lock 18 gauge applicator tip.

50cc of lube is so unbelievably unnecessary.

What would be the most suitable lube out of THESE THINGIES?

Well the top ones, the silicone emulsions.... but 35Kg! Have you really thought this through? (Look at the size of these containers - and think that you only need a couple of drops to lube a cube)

Well he could buy one drum, put 2cc's into a syringes and charge $10 for it...he'd be rich like rockstars!

 

[theace]

Size isn't an issue. They have smaller packs. 90 bucks for 300 ml is a good deal IMO (That's INR btw, not USD)

 

[Godmil]

That certainly is cheap.

I'm waiting to try out some lube myself (it is not the same as lubix). I am considering selling it. I may even include it for free when someone orders the new Dayan 3x3's. I was looking for some tear droppers (like maru lube) but I found it much better to have the lube in 3cc Syringes, this way not much lube is wasted when applying. All of this is rather inexpensive and the retail price will be much more reasonable.

Sounds interesting. I'd be interested in buying. When are you getting the lunhui? I need to order about 5 and lightake's prices are a little too much.

I will have lunhui's next week. I think we can work out a deal of 5 of them. I might even throw in some lube for free.

Here is my 60cc Syringe. It is not lubix nor is it the same viscosity.
