I thought it would be interesting to see what is currently the rage in lubrication. If you prefer to keep yours a secret, just mark the answer and you won't be identified. If a brand name is relevant, as it would be for silicone, please include it in your answer. Also, how do you apply your lube?

KRYTOX 100 this month.
An addition to this poll would be the application of the lube you are using.
For me, light brush to the inside of just the hub with very small "q-tip like" applicator found at a local hobby shop. Spin, spin, spin, and spin some more on the axle.
Let just say I hope this works.

KRYTOX 100 this month. Let just say I hope this works. J I think you will be pleasantly surprised. I put a few drops on a spare axle and spin my wheel on it. I then mount the wheel on an axle that has had a drop applied and blown off with compressed air. After about 3 runs the axles are broken in and ready to go. The times continue to improve minutely. This stuff seems to hold up forever. |

Running a mix this month.
I have three cars running graphite I got from Hodges last year.
I have three cars running the "juice"... my new term for the Krytox.. 100...
I apply this much more heavily then the other juices because it is thinner.

Graphite from Hodges for both stocker and mod. Would like to try Krytox. Which vendor do most buy Krytox from?

I use graphite, but I am going to try krytox.Hey Buckeye have you tried the 143 series Krytox yet ? I have tried the 103 of that series, but not enough to make a fair decision about it. It is much thicker than the 100, so less is better. I think it would last a long time, but will require careful application and longer breakin. |

Last month I used a synthetic lube (not sure of the name) on all 3 cars. I don't necessarily think it was the problem, because I had my axles too tight.
This month I went with Pine Pro graphite. Can't be any worse.
It won't be long now. Good luck!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
