The lubricant that Tectime created exclusively for slot
When preparing a slot car with care, every detail matters, and lubrication is no exception. The Tectime Neo Oil TT0332 was born out of the need for a lubricant developed from scratch for the specific demands of slot: small parts, tight tolerances, very different materials, and usage conditions ranging from weekend recreational sessions to the most demanding club competitions.
Main features
What sets Tectime Neo apart from a generic oil is its formulation. Tectime has incorporated high-end additives selected to ensure a stable lubricating film, with no excessive migration and without attacking the materials on which it is applied. This translates into:
- Full compatibility with metal materials: steel, titanium, magnesium, and carbon.
- Full compatibility with plastic materials: nylon, ABS, and other polymers commonly used in slot car construction.
- Suitable for any component: axles, bearings, gears, guides, pivots, and any friction point of the car.
- Valid for any usage situation, regardless of the intensity or duration of the session.
Recommended applications
Tectime Neo is as versatile as the variety of components found in a well-prepared slot car. Some of the points where its use makes a difference:
- Axles and bearings: reduces friction and extends the lifespan of bearings, especially in high-speed configurations.
- Gears and pinions: protects the teeth from wear without trapping dirt.
- Guides and pivots: facilitates smooth movement of the guide on the track, improving cornering response.
- Technical plastic parts: no risk of chemical attack on nylon or ABS, common in chassis and mounts.
Behaviour and performance
A high-end oil not only lubricates: it also protects. The film formed by Tectime Neo is robust enough to stay in place during long sessions, without the need for constant reapplications. At the same time, its viscosity is adjusted to avoid generating additional resistance in small parts, where an oil that is too thick can be counterproductive.
The result is a car that turns with greater freedom, with less energy loss due to friction and a lower wear rate on the most stressed components.
Ideal for…
- Enthusiasts who prepare and tune their cars meticulously and want a lubricant that matches the quality of their other materials.
- Club competitors looking to extract the maximum performance from each component.
- Preparers working with cars from different brands and materials, needing a single reliable product for everything.
- Collectors who also run their pieces and wish to keep the mechanisms in perfect condition.
Aspects to consider
As with any precision lubricant, the key is to apply the right amount. A small drop in the correct spot is more effective than a generous application that ends up migrating to the braids or tyres. The new packaging of Tectime Neo facilitates controlled dosing to avoid excess.
Frequently asked questions
Is it safe to use Tectime Neo on plastic parts like nylon or ABS?
Yes. The formulation of Tectime Neo is designed to be compatible with the most common technical plastics used in slot car construction, including nylon and ABS, without the risk of degradation or swelling of the material.
Can I use it on the bearings of my car?
Of course. It is one of the most common uses. A small amount applied to the bearing significantly improves its free spin and reduces wear over time.
How often should I lubricate my slot car?
It depends on usage, but as a general guideline, moderate lubrication before each long session or competition is sufficient. In casual recreational use, it can be spaced out more. The important thing is not to overdo the amount.
Is it valid for any brand and scale of slot?
Yes. Being compatible with the most common metals and plastics in the hobby, it can be used on cars from any brand — Scalextric, Slot.it, NSR, Scaleauto, Ninco, Avant Slot, and others — and in the usual scales of the sector.
Can it affect the braids if it migrates?
As with any oil, it is advisable to apply the right amount and avoid the area of the braids. A controlled and precise application should not cause problems.
