I got my Tamiya Sand Scorcher Radio Controlled Racing Buggy for Christmas in 1984. A video of the reissued kit is here-
(PS-waterproof modifications entail some silicone sealant and some non-hardening sealant…)
If Safari Charlie Gun Lube had been around in 1984, then my suspension and drive shaft universal joints would not have worn near as quickly, as one can imagine how anything oily picks up every bit of dust from a hard afternoon of running that fun car. I would hose it off, and get every thing obvious out of it, but some parts were just hard to clean. The fact that Safari Charlie Gun Lube soaks into metals, and repels dust, water, and mud would have made just my universal joints last WAY longer. My suspension components would have operated “dry”, and trash and dust would have fallen out of the suspension, instead of grinding away at my pivot points. The only plastic parts on the suspension on this car are some ball joint plates on the front suspension, everything else is metal- metal on metal. And metal on metal lubrication is what Safari Charlie Gun Lube is made for. Safari Charlie penetrates and leaves no residue- at all, none. Rain or shine, hot or cold, SCGL takes care of your metal wear issues. Now if I could keep my old school shocks from leaking…

G’Day! I always hated the mud that formed in my old R/R’s suspension, and this stuff sounds like the ticket! I hope they ship to Australia- I ran across this site looking for something that will keep the ol’ buggy fresh for years! Sounds good to me! I don’t like how some lubes rub off, or get clumpy like PTFE, so I’ll give it a go!
