I have a T-Rex 450SE and a T-Rex 500 When and what are we to use for Lube ?
Thanks
I have a Belt CP and use Armorall for everything; belt, main gear, swash, ball links, inside of canopy after it slings off the main gear bearing.

Armorall?? Really? Never heard of that. Does it work ok?
I use silicone on EVERYTHING, applied by a syringe.
I heard Armorall is not good for fabric or threads (vehicle seat stitching..etc.)... belts have threads in them.
A drop on everything that moves every day you go flying or 10-20 flights which every comes first.

I'm a big fan of Tri flow. I lube the wear points about every 5 or 6 flights. In the case of helis, less is more. I use a couple of small drops on the pitch slider, swash, flybar slider, etc. The armorall kind of has me concerned, it is not designed at all to be a lubricant and could cause more damage than good.
