Can I lube my Zhanchi the same was Lubix shows us how they do it to make their Lubix Zhanchi?

 

[uniacto]

Yea, traxxas is just about the same thing as lubix, I've heard.

Yes, they're almost identical.

Did any of you ever used any of these silicon-based spray lubricants?
It's the only available lubricants of that kind in my country.

If you used any of those, give me your impressions, recommendations, suggestions...


SONAX, made in Germany

MOTIP, made in Holland

COSMOS-LAC, made in Greece

P.S.
In my country there's no Jig-A-Loo, no CRC Heavy Duty, no Tempo, no SNAP... No PayPal eather, so don't advise me to shop on-line... Do not eather tell me things like "you can find it in WALL MART" - since "Wall Mart" to me is the same as "Жућкова Ћевабџиница И Печењара" to you...

That's what I'm asking also. Can anyone confirm that it is same as 50k wt? I tried going to some online converters but they show as like, only 600 wt or something... It can't be that light.

 

[Lchu613]

oh, I checked on the converters, it's same as 50000 wt if that's what you're worried about, give or take maybe 5000 from the manufacturer
I'm asking about the quality of lube

Its the same thing I've using that brand of lube since late september

Hmm. So if its like the same as 50k. Is the 3000 cSt same as 30,000 wt and so on? This is the cheapest brand of diff. oil I can find, and it contains extra 10mL/cc than the Traxxas.

Yep thats right

 

[Lchu613]

so, anybody know about how GOOD that stuff is?
I'm assuming it's pretty good though, just want somebody who's used it

works like a charm made me SS 5x5 even better

 

[Tenaji]

I use a 40,000 wt pure silicone lubricant that I grabbed from a hobby store. It's obviously like Traxxas 50,000 wt but a wee bit thinner. In my opinion, it works perfectly and it does the job well. It's affordable, lasts ages and works excellently.

That is 5k diff lube, it will be very light. And as for quality, Team Assosciated makes quality stuff, and I know that their oils are good, as I have used them before. You might want to try this instead: Traxxas 50k or This

 

[Lchu613]

Thanks guys!
Controversial storm time: 30k or 50k?
