How does this part work:

Step two is lightly spray your wheels and inner hubs with Silicone. (It has to be low viscosity silicone spray and safe on plastic). You might even use a paint brush to apply it as not to use too much.

I've got some 3-in-1 silicone, and would like to know how much is enough or too much. I've applied it with a brush ad by usuing the small opening on the bottle itself, and neither has made much improvement. Is temp a factor, as it can be cold in the garage this time of year?


  • Keywords here; spray, viscosity, brush. The stuff you're using is in liquid state permanently. The sprays have carriers that evaporate off and leave behind a film, not a liquid. I am assuming when BLR mentions a brush, he is referring to the spray decanted. — X2Whiskey

I have been using this technique ever since this was posted. It really helps, even if you don't do it perfect. All the cars that have gone out to recent tournaments have had the silicone treatment.

Thanks so much for your experience! As a newcomer to this sport/hobby/awesomeness... I can really now see how competitive this racing is! I think it's great, to have something that appears to be 'out of the box simple' and turning that simple into a game changer. If you have had some angry and accusational comments... then you know that those people are simply jealous! In this world it's easy to criticise... but thank you for being open about your experience. I look forward to 'seeing you' at a track!

I have been using a similar process for quite some time, but thanks a ton for your elaborate description of curing times and your break-in method afterwards. From the times alone I have the true feeling that this information is pretty helpful, so again thanks a lot, Tim!
