The oil that Tectime has formulated with every friction point of your slot car in mind
The Tectime Premium Medium Density Oil (TT0302) is a lubricant specifically designed for slot use, developed to provide a balanced viscosity that protects without saturating. Its medium density makes it a versatile option: not too light to escape from where it is applied, nor too thick to slow down the more delicate components.
Main features
- Medium density: viscosity designed to provide lasting coverage without accumulating or creating additional resistance.
- Specific formulation for slot: it is not a general-purpose oil adapted; Tectime has created it for the real demands of the hobby.
- Wide compatibility of use: suitable for bearings and bushings of both front and rear axles, motor parts, and transmissions in both anglewinder and sidewinder configurations.
Recommended applications
This oil is designed to lubricate any component of the slot car that generates mechanical friction:
- Bearings and bushings of the front and rear axles.
- Motor shaft and support area on the chassis.
- Pinions and crowns in anglewinder and sidewinder configurations.
- Any other point of the car that requires reducing friction to improve performance or prolong the lifespan of the part.
Behaviour and performance
The medium density offers a very practical balance for the club preparer or the enthusiast who wants to have a single reliable general-use oil. It adequately protects without attracting excessive dirt or migrating to the braids or guide, where the presence of lubricant would be counterproductive.
Usage recommendations
- Apply sparingly: a small drop is sufficient at most points.
- Remove excess with a cotton swab or dry cloth before putting the car back on the track.
- In closed bearings, apply the oil from the side of the bearing with the minimum necessary for it to penetrate.
- For crowns and pinions, spread a thin and even layer; avoid accumulations that may project onto the inside of the bodywork.
- Check lubrication periodically, especially after long running sessions.
Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between medium density oil and other Tectime oils?
The density affects the viscosity and the permanence of the lubricant at the application point. A lighter oil is ideal for axles with very little play or for the motor shaft in high-precision competition cars. A higher density oil is suitable for transmissions that bear more load. The medium density covers a wide spectrum and is the most versatile for general use.
Can I use it on the motor?
Yes, it is indicated for lubricating the motor shaft at its supports. Apply very carefully to avoid contaminating the collector or the braids, as any grease or oil in those areas negatively affects electrical conduction.
Is it compatible with ball bearings and bronze bushings?
Yes, Tectime medium density oil is suitable for both ball bearings and traditional sintered bronze bushings. In both cases, the key is not to exceed the amount applied.
How often should I lubricate?
It depends on the intensity of use. In a club context with regular sessions, checking the lubrication of bearings and transmission every two or three running sessions is common practice. If you notice that the car is losing top speed or hear a slight squeak in the drivetrain, it is a sign that it is time to reapply.
Is it suitable for anglewinder and sidewinder configurations?
Yes, expressly. The transmission in anglewinder and sidewinder involves continuous contact between pinion and crown, and lubricating that pair of gears is key to the performance and durability of both parts. This oil is indicated for both configurations.
Tectime Premium Medium Density Slot Oil (TT0302) is a purpose-built lubricant for slot car racing, formulated with a balanced viscosity suitable for bearings, axles, motors, pinions and crowns in both anglewinder and sidewinder drivetrains. Designed by Tectime exclusively for the slot hobby, it delivers reliable protection and smooth performance across all friction points of the car, making it an ideal all-round lubricant for club racers and enthusiasts alike.
