Avid RC Slip & Slide lubricants

Avid RC Slip & Slide lubricants

Avid RC have announced that after scrutinizing development their Slip and Slide lubricants are now available.

Hudy Super Diff Grease

Hudy’s new Super Diff Grease is a high-performance, model racing car general-purpose silicone-based grease. With a thicker viscosity than standard diff grease, it stays on the diff plates longer, prolonging diff lifespan. It is especially well-suited for use in ball differentials and thrust bearings and is recommended for any heavy-duty application where high pressures or loads are present. The silicone grease operates within a large temperature range and works under extreme conditions over 100°C.

Losi Shock O-ring grease

Losi Shock O-ring grease

Losi’s new shock o-ring grease is a high grade synthetic grease that has special additives to lubricate silicone o-rings without making them swell and cause drag on the shock shaft. The unique formula is not effected by silicone liquid so it stays on, in between and around the shock o-rings preventing wear and unwanted friction. This is also very good when used between two moving surfaces such as servo savers and the like. The handy tool box sized tube holds a generous 8cc of grease and a screw on cap to prevent accidental spills.
