lubix is great but over priced but, I recommend weight 4 silicon from the cubicle it is just as good as lubix or you can mix weight 1 50k and 30k also the cubicle weight 4 is way cheaper then lubix. weight 4 is 5$ for 10cc, while lubix is 20$ for 10cc. Don't buy lubix it is overpriced just go with cubicle weight for or traxxas. You can buy weight for cubicle lube here http://thecubicle.us/assorted-regular-silicone-lube-p-61.html

Does anyone have any idea what kind/weight lubricant this is? It's obviously silicone, but I'm not sure how pure it is or anything about it. I found it in my basement while looking for a file for a cube mod. anyway, a search only shows that it comes with a treadmill, which we owned about 5 years ago. I don't know if they still make this lubricant or anything, all I know is that it's lighter than lubix and did wonders on my Weilong.

Take a video of tilting the bottle. I can estimate by how quickly the fluid runs.
 
I use a 50/50 mix of Traxxas 30k and 50k for the internals, and 30k on my pieces. I would 100%reccomend this to anyone, as it's produced consistently fantastic results.
 
i use "reely" lube 30k i bought it from a store in my city that cells rc cars lol 60cc for 5euros and it works great who cares about lubix or other expensive lubes i havent tried it but there is no way its worth the price i dont even think lube can be that much different especially since its basically the same
 
CRC is my favorite. I don't have to lube very often...I only lube my big cubes every month or two and just lubed my 3x3 for the first time in 2 years. Still was great before I lubed it too. It is really cheap and you can get it from Amazon, which is a huge plus for me
 
And how does 50k perform on the pieces ? Does anyone have a feedback on this ? I just wonder what does the viscosity change on the feel. I just know that the 10k I currently use makes my cube feel a bit gummy if I use too much, and feels like it's unlubed if I don't put enough.

that's because 10k is like water. Use 30k for pieces or a mix of 50 and 30 k. 50k is often times going to make your cube feel gummy.

10k isn't like water lol that's a common misconception. Think more Maple syrupy

I didn't mean literally, but I understand and have seen the fact that it is extremely runny compared to say, lubix, which most people have seen or tried.

Disclaimer: I've never used anything quite this runny. I have 30k though and Lubix so I'm basing this off of those:

I'm guessing your treadmill stuff is between 10k and 20k. Not sure exactly which.

Interesting. I've noticed its magical effects have already started to wear off.
 
Really. I doubt it's actually wearing off, maybe it's just been spread out more thinly and evenly over the pieces. I have that happen sometimes, lube will sometimes start amazing then settle down a bit.

Then again I couldn't say for sure.

Then that's possible that's what has happened. I feel a difference for sure though; I'm not crazy. It's still much faster than it was before.
