Looking at your link, there's no way to tell if any of it is good. Maybe I'm just having a hard time finding it, but there doesn't seem to be any viscosity measurement of the Diff Oils. Without an measurements of any kind, such as wt or cst, there's no real way for us to say if it's good or bad. Things like "Ultra Thick Differential lubricant" doesn't really mean anything.
Also, I see the Losi Diff Oil, which someone else just mentioned it here. The problem is the same though, where we have no idea what its viscosity is.
is this one right
is this one the one you used http://www.hobbyfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=267 or is it any better theres also a 30,000 w one
But i also found this now http://www.hobbyfever.com/product_info.php?products_id=4001 ive heard traxxas is good

1,000wt is completely different from 50,000wt. If you want to go with 30k, instead of 50k, it's a good substitute.
But 1,000 is not the right one. Even 3,000 isn't the right one, since both those number appear on that link...
Traxxas 50k is the one that I use, and most people use (along with Ofna). Camcuber even has a review of it, compared to Lubix. He actually said that he is going to start stocking 50k Traxxas in his store.

Seriously? First, if you do even a meager amount of research, you'd realize that it's much cheaper than the lubricants that some compare this to. Secondly, isn't this the fourth or fifth thread you've spammed with almost meaningless posts?
Please, don't mistake me for a flamer (as fun as it can be). I'm trying to save your butt from the real flamers. Try lurking for a while, then come back when you've got a feel for our community's etiquette.
::EDIT:: Make that sixth or seventh...

Today I recieved my 2 bottles of OFNA Diff-Lock Silicone Oil 30,000 wtg.
After playing around with little blobs of this stuff and Lubix, there are no noticeable differences. And of course, they are soluble in each other.
I was squeezing the OFNA silicone into the Lubix syringe held between my knees, then the cap burst off, lol.
I lost a blob of silicone, but luckily the high viscosity prevented much escaping the bottle.

I bought from HeliDirect, for some reason the 30,000 wt isn't showing up.
I wasn't desperate so I think I took the cheapest shipping (just a few dollars). I ordered on the 15th of July.

Thanks for that, I brought my Diff oil for $3 from toyworld. The only problem is it is 5000cst but it works fine for me

I got my traxxas 50K diff oil off eBay for 4 dollars. It's worked well for me so far. I need to try it out on bigger cubes, though.
Question: Anyone know where I can buy a lock-able syringe (like at walmart)?

I've been looking for one for a while, even offered to buy one off of izovire (no response). The best one I could find for $.48 was the one in my picture previously.

Someone on this site has posted pictures of the syringes and dispensing tips, very similar to the ones Lubix uses. I can't remember who it was, though... He even had prices. .05 cents for the locking dispensing tips.
Anyway, I believe they were all hospital equipment, which can easily be found. You just gotta know what to look for, lol.
Edit:
Found the post. (http://www.speedsolving.com/forum/s...r-Alternative!&p=574769&viewfull=1#post574769)
They're called Luer Lock Syringes. The dispensing tip is called XT-18 luer lock 18 gauge applicator tip. The tip is only ~.05 cents.
If you just search that stuff on Google, you'll get plenty of places online to order them. Now, for an actual nearby store to buy them from, I don't know.

umm... diff oil is $8 at 50 cc and lubix is $10 for 2cc, if you were to pay that many tubes of lubix for that amount of diff oil, that would cost $250 for all that lubix, you just saved your self ~$240!

Question: If i mixed 30k and 50k wt oils together, would they blend together into 40k wt?

I've never tried it, and I don't anyone else who has.
I don't think that's how those fluids work, but I could be completely wrong on that.
But, why would you want to do that? 50k is fine, and so is 30k. And if you have both, just mix a tiny bit together, and see how it works.
