, im building a new 811-t, i like to treat the plastics before and after getting them dirt, i use sc1 at the track, i dont have any experience with this stuff, and before i do all the plastics/pins on truggy , id like to hear when and where you guys are successfully using this/and similar products.. my plan was to polish the hingepins, than run a coat of the kryteck over them, buffing with a cloth, possibly getting the hingepin and similar holes cleaned out with the kryteck, how does this stuff last, does it coat and protect metal parts, and plastics, lets talk it up, i am VERy thorough with my builds and even more so with maintenance, lets talk it up, i also saw they make a gear grease, thinking of doing ring/pinion from diffs with it, although red mobile 1 grease has worked perfect , and years tested!!!!

I stopped using this lube on my hingpins simply because grease works betters and lasts ten times longer. after the first weekend out after using the krytech lube on my hingpins, the suspension squeaks and sticks. also used this before on bearings. i clean all the grease out with laquer thinner and drop in some of the krytech. It worked ok but i use a light oil now instead. when the krytech dried inside of bearing it was almost like it was still full of grease. i am VERY anal about my bearings and only use light oil now. the less resistance/friction the better imo. the only thing i use it for now if for the pillow balls on front end.

Dry lubes just hurt me...

I cleaned a bunch of bearings last night with nitro cleaner then oiled them with the TrakPower Krytech. They now spin more freely after cleaning than when new (I compared one I cleaned with a brand new one). Not sure how the stuff works on anything else, but as a bearing oil I think it works just fine.
I would suggest using something like this to apply it to the bearings so you dont waste too much.

The smell reminds me of Remington Rem Oil.

Ride height is crucial when u want ur car to handle properly. I don't want my ride height to be inaccurate because of the suspension binding. I assemble the front and rear end with very little play so when dust or dirt gets into those spots the suspension will bind giving you inconsistent ride height readings. But when I use grease the binding doesn't occur even when the grease gets dirty. I love the krytech/odonnell lube, but for things other than hinge pins and bearings.

Could you just use light oil instead of grease?
