Newbie...Lube Question

[sportzkat]

Guys,

I have been reading this forum off and on for a couple of years, getting great tips to help build my son's PWD car. Last year I am convinced that we lost because our lube wore out, so this year I'm looking for the best lube I can get. We have to use dry lube, so Krytox is out. I ordered Max-V lube and was planning on using it until I saw this stuff:

Anybody familar with this stuff? Any input from you guys is GREATLY appreciated!

Thanks.

Sportzkat,
Save yourself some money and buy some Hob-E-Lube !!

I would go with Hob E lube. If you are using that and still have the same issue then it's not the lube that's your problem.

Thanks for the replies. In reading the feedback of people who have bought the stuff, they seem happy. I'm intrigued...

The reason I say that I think lube was the problem was that our car was fast at first, then seemed to slow down as the heats progressed. The car we lost to was one we had beaten easily the night before in testing. Just seemed that our car slowed down, and the only expendable item on the car is the lubricant. But I am FAR from an expert on this!!

Thanks again...
