Brilliant RC’s new Belt Silicone is an innovative lubricant which improves the performance and efficiency of every belt-driven RC car by reducing the friction of the belts and pulleys. Furthermore it ensures that less dirt adheres on the pulleys and on the belts which results in less wear and an extended life of the drivetrain. The lube comes in a bottle with a small applicator brush for convenient and save application as even the smallest amounts of silicone-based lubricants can cause considerable damages in nitro engines.
