Max-V-Lube^TM Dry Graphite

Max-V-Lube dry graphite is a proprietary blend of high-purity natural flake graphite. After extensive testing against other brands of graphite, we are offering Max-V-Lube as our premier graphite for pine derby performance.

Application

Apply Max-V-Lube as follows:

Insert a wheel onto an axle.

Hold the axle with the wheel hanging towards the ground.

Deposit some lube into the gap between the axle and wheel hub.

Tap the wheel gently to help move the lube down into the wheel hub.

With one hand, firmly grasp the axle and hold the axle horizontal to the ground.

With the other hand, spin the tire firmly, but not so much as to drop the wheel/axle.

Repeat step 6, nine more times.

After performing this procedure the first time, keep the wheel/axle pairs together as a unit.

Follow the above procedure three times before considering lubrication complete. As a measurement of completeness, by the end of this procedure the free spin time of a wheel should be twenty seconds or more for a standard BSA wheel.

Test Results

The chart below shows the result of racing one car with four sets of wheels on a 32 foot track. Two sets of the wheels were lubricated with Max-V-Lube, while the other sets were lubricated with Tube-O-Lube. All other factors were the same. Each set of wheels was mounted on the car and raced twenty times. The high and low run for each was eliminated, and then the results for each lube were averaged.
