Long ago, there was this kinda, gritty looking pink grease that was ~the most amazing~ stuff for reducing gearbox friction. I still can't find what it was. SF3 was something I was proud of finding. Amazingly, in the last two years, my buddy and I have put a dent in the 8oz jar I bought.

Hahaha! Yessir. First time I bought "Green Slime" all I could think was how similar it was to the Noleen I had in the garage!

Now I know what it is... and where to buy it.. I've used it for a lot of things. Stiction reducing agents are really good in regulators too...

Had a fun weekend with the XI, qualified 3rd, finished 2nd, as always XI was consistent and trouble free throughout the weekend




Video courtesy of number 2 qualifier Jake E.
I led most of the race and with just 2 laps to go I taped with some other car and got stuck on the pipe loosing the lead ... part of racing

Good job on the race. Looks like the video is set to friends only or something. Can't watch it.

Jake just taped it to the body, I have done it in the past without issues, you do need a small and light camera.

I ziptied to roof. Body was in bad shape. It did have a lot of flex to it. I’ve got a pretty small camera, hopefully I’ll get another chance to try before we are done for summer. Keep getting rained out

double sided tape is all we use, I like the clear 3m stuff, comes off easily in one piece, use it for esc and rx's.
