New from Japanese company Rickside Design comes a high-temperature resistant metal grease for a range of applications. The lube is ideal for all metal-to-metal connections such as the cross and drive pins of universal and CV driveshafts as well as all other applications where friction and heat build-up is a problem. The high-viscosity grease comes in convenient 10g snap cap cans and it is available from end of January.

Gravity RC have introduced their new 20 million Cst pure silicone diff putty. The 100 percent Polydimethysiloxane fluid is recommended as an alternative to commonly used putty in gear differentials or other moving applications. The extra thick putty offers ultimate reforming properties and due to its viscosity it can easily be handled with no mess, though the package still comes with an applicator syringe as a bonus.

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.
