Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
It could be commutator fluid , you used to put a couple of drops on the commutator before a race to get a better electrical connection with the brushes and reduce wear to the brushes from arking , it's just a guess though , I'm far from sure but Trinity made motors so it's that or bearing oil for motors ....... Or not
If a jobs not worth doing then its certainly not worth doing well.

Trinity sold both a bushing and a bearing oil in those little bottles. The bushing oil was darker brown in color and the bearing was more yellowish from memory

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Right - so you guys are just confused as I am!
Didn't think about comm drops... but yes that could be some indeed.
I have another Ernie-badged dispenser with a way more oily yellowish one, too. I "inherited" both from a big lot of stuff I wrote a few years back from a former middle-of-the-pack racer, including a pitbox with vintage stickies on it, which I love (but I've never used as it's so full of all kinds of stuff which takes ages to sort!)... I'm sure the fluid in there is original. Will investigate more...
(talking about comm drops: has anyone still have some Big Jim's (R.I.P.) Tribotech left? I do this thing worked wonders on hi-silver content brushes, a la CS Silver. Made them last sooooo much longer before burning!)

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Again from memory, I think comm drops were in an alcohol base. I doubt the alcohol would have lasted this long but I suppose it’s possible

Can someone take a guess at what is inside this Trinity bottle? All I know is, it's vintage, it's very fluid but not as liquid as, say, gun oil (not sure how it's called in English, sorry), and it's pink-ish... I use it on stuff sometimes when the risk level is low
Thanks!
Paul

There may have been other formulas, but this is the only comm drops I remember from Trinity.--- It's a green tinted blue color. Kinwald Formula 96.

Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
Anyone seen one of these tracks before? 15" wide track. 5'x8'-6" overall dimensions. Looks to be made of kydex with interlocking sections held together at the top of the side rails with o-rings or rubber bands. I was thinking BRP, back in the days of the mini oval Outlaws, but I could find no info on it and I could be way off.

Trying to figure out which car this goes on. I'm sure it's Tamiya but no clue which one. Thanks for any info.
Re: The Official "What is it?" Thread
These shocks came on my rc10gt I just got and I thought they were basic duratrax gold shocks. I just noticed they have a bleeder in the cap. Can anyone identify these?
