Maintaining model trains, planes, cars, and tanks, requires not just dedication and passion but also precision. The challenge of reaching tight spaces for lubrication and protection against corrosion and moisture is significant in model vehicles. Enter Inox Lubricant, where the MX3 & MX4, each equipped with a 2-way nozzle, along with the MX5 and MX6 products, become the game-changer for hobbyists and enthusiasts alike.
The Importance of Proper Lubrication
Lubrication plays a pivotal role in the maintenance and preservation of model vehicles, acting as the barrier that promotes smooth and efficient operation. It’s a critical practice that goes beyond mere functionality, protecting these detailed machines from the effects of wear, tear, and environmental damage.
Some of the key points of lubrication are as follows:
Preventing Wear and Tear: Regular lubrication minimises the friction between moving parts, significantly reducing wear and extending the lifespan of model planes, boats, and cars.
Combating Corrosion and Moisture: Model vehicles are susceptible to damage from corrosion and moisture, which can infiltrate tiny spaces and cause harm to metal parts, circuitry, and aesthetics. Proper lubrication acts as a shield, preventing damage.
Preserving Aesthetic Value: The visual appeal of model vehicles is an important element. Lubrication helps prevent rust and decay, ensuring that each model retains not only its appearance but also its value.
Enhancing Performance: By safeguarding against mechanical and environmental threats, lubrication ensures that model vehicles operate at their peak performance, avoiding common issues like seized gears or short-circuited components.
Maintenance as Preservation: Applying high-quality lubricants preserves and maintains both the operational integrity and the visual appeal of model vehicles over time.
Why Inox Lubricants?
Inox Lubricants, particularly the MX3, MX4, MX5 & MX6 variants are the go-to choice for hobbyists and enthusiasts. These variants are engineered solutions designed to meet the specific needs of those who are committed to preserving the functionality and appearance of their model vehicles.
MX3
MX3’s penetrating ability effectively loosens stuck parts and provides lasting lubrication for complex components. Its precision, enabled by the 2-way nozzle, is ideal for engines and cylinders, offering cleaning and corrosion prevention. MX3 protects all models against moisture and corrosion, covering engines, control linkages, and remote systems, ensuring their durability and performance.
MX4
MX4 provides enhanced protection against harsh conditions and temperatures, perfect for outdoor model vehicles such as model boats and trains facing variable climates.
MX5
Ensuring smooth operation and reduced wear, MX5 optimises wheel and axle bushes, especially with the aid of the 30ml injector bottle. It provides essential lubrication and protection for bushes and gears, maintaining optimal performance and extending the life of your models.
MX6
The preferred choice for lubricating transmission gears in model vehicles, MX6 grease provides exceptional protection and longevity. Available in numerous sizes, the 30g tube is particularly helpful for these applications.
The Magic of the 2-Way Nozzle
The 2-way nozzle technology is a game-changer for maintaining model vehicles, blending precision with versatility to meet the unique demands of hobbyists. This innovative nozzle allows for an effortless switch between targeted direct streams and broad fine mists, ensuring that every nook and cranny of model planes, boats, and cars receives the exact amount of lubrication it needs. This precision application prevents the common issues of over-lubrication, which can attract dirt and cause damage, and under-lubrication, which can lead to wear and tear.
Designed with the hobbyist in mind, the 2-way nozzle ensures that lubrication is applied cleanly and efficiently, keeping workspaces tidy and models in pristine condition. It’s an essential tool for combating rust and corrosion, protecting the intricate parts of model vehicles from the elements and extending their operational life. With the ability to deliver lubricant precisely where it’s needed, the 2-way nozzle helps maintain the functionality and aesthetic appeal of model vehicles, ensuring they continue to bring joy and satisfaction to their owners for years to come.
Application Tips
Using Inox Lubricants is straightforward, but a few tips can enhance your model vehicles maintenance routine:
Choose the Right Lubricant: Select the lubricant that’s appropriate for the material and type of model vehicle. For plastic gears, a plastic-safe lubricant is essential to prevent damage. Inox offers various formulas suitable for different materials and applications.
Apply Sparingly: When lubricating model planes, boats, and cars, a little goes a long way. Excessive lubricant can attract dust and debris, leading to a buildup that can impair the model’s function.
Focus on Moving Parts: Pay special attention to gears, bearings, and axles—anywhere metal contacts metal or where movement occurs. These are the areas where friction is most likely to occur and where the MX3 & MX6 lubrication is most beneficial.
Use Precision Applicators: The 2-way nozzle is ideal for reaching into tight spaces without over-applying the product.
Protect Against Corrosion: For models exposed to moisture or operated in harsh environments (like RC boats), lubrication offers protection against rust and corrosion. This is where the MX4 can be particularly useful.
Regular Maintenance: Make lubrication part of your regular maintenance routine to ensure ongoing smooth operation and to extend the life of your model vehicle.
Consult Product Guides: Refer to the Inox product guides for specific advice and instructions on its use with electronic components, especially for models with electrical systems to avoid any damage.
