Anyone remember this stuff? I remember it being amazing. Have an old bottle but it's dry. I googled but nothing came up - anyone know if there is a comparable replacement??

We used TriFlow a lot locally

This?

x2 for the O'Donnell stuff

Nice the wax stuff...I bought a wax lube for a bicycle chain but never used it. Will have to check it out. Thanks.

I have a bottle of that White Lightning I think it's called. I've used it on Axial bearings and driveshafts and it works great to keep things from rusting.

For bearings, I'm still using a bottle of Trinity oil I got at least 15 years ago.

I'm old school and still use LaBelle racing oil. I have also used Acer Sin oil which seems pretty good but I'm sure there are other more magic oils.

I have one that I still use from years back. I just bought a new one "Trinity RevtecH" Royal oil... now done by Team Epic, product # 4051.

I was thinking more for gears guys compared to bearings. When I was refurbishing my RC10T I saw it on the spur gear which brought back memories and forced me to dig around to find the old bottle...lol.

Actually I usually run dry, if anything on my gears I'll use a dab of Tamiya Ceramic grease

As far as the TriFlow, that's what I use on bearings. The Trinity stuff is awesome but I had long forgotten about it. Labelle is also very good but I also didn't know they were still around!

i use to use some stuff from aero car tech that was called super speed gear lube. all it was, was liquefied wax. it came with it's own applicator that you would put on any of your gears. you would have to wait for it to dry. once dry it worked pretty good. i stopped using it because of the time it took for it to dry. on race day one application doesn't go a long way.



the o'lube i recommended has the same features as the old super speed gear lube. and you could also use it on gears. here's the back label to the o'lube:



i also still use trinity's oils. my old zero friction oil still comes in handy for my bearings.

Yeah liquid bearing on the spur and pinion was awesome stuff I have not seen any in a long time

This stuff was like a liquid graphite that dried and made the gears slip for a better mesh
