Hi guys,

I have a T-Rex SE (yet to be assembled) and a Blade CP wih some mods. I've been reading about using Silicone Spray and also TriFlow. I found some silicone spray, but can't find any triflow locally. So, I was wondering if I can lubricate everything I'd lube with Triflow with silicone instead?

Also, what parts do I need to lubricate? I know the belt, the tail slider and the head with the o-rings (feathering shaft?) is there anything else?

Thanks a lot,

-Mike

Triflow is usually found in bicycle shops.

Thanks for the replies guys. I went and found some at a hobby shop that wasn't local, but it's one of the largest shops in a reasonable distance. So now I have both Triflow and some Silicone Spray. I've been doing some searching in regards to my other question about what to use what on.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but I think I lube the o-rings and belt with the silicone spray. I can use the triflow on the tail slider and stuff in the head?

Also, I'm reading conflicting advice on oiling the bearings. Is this something I need to do too?

Thanks a lot,

-Mike
