Green slime is the old standby, I believe the first product to seal and protect silicone o-rings in the RC world. Still as good as many of the o-ring lubes available. Green Slime appears to be repackaged Noleen SF-3 High Performance Suspension Grease "formulated to reduce static and sliding friction..." Same exact color, smell and texture only you can get a 2oz. tub of SF-3 for $9.99. I believe Cliff Lett was the first to use this stuff on rc car shock o-rings as he was a former Motocross mechanic for a factory team before joining AE in the late 80s, so I am 99% sure Green Slime is unaltered Noleen SF-3 sold in tiny little tubes!
Ive tried this, TLR, 1Up, J&T, R1Wurks and out of them all its #1) Green Slime, TLR, J&T, 1Up, Protek & R1Wurks last and one of the most expensive and was some special silicone grease but it seemed to dissolve quickly once diff fluid was added. Green Slime may not be the slickest grease of them but it seems to stay intact and in place better than the rest. TLR is similar to GS but Protek, 1Up are more like SlickHoney. J&T is more like a Green lithium grease and R1Wurks special oring grease is slick and its silicone based but doesn't hold up in diffs at all. Green Slime = GOAT
This is not intended for use with nitro engine applications....it is meant to be used with shock o-rings, nothing else. If you want to seal up your engine use: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_info.php/cPath/167_82/products_id/25728/n/Lucky-7-Air-Seal-Engine-Sealant
I really like the Associated green slime. I put it on pretty much every o-ring that my cars have. Shock o-rings, diff o-rings, engine carb o-rings, etc. It hasn't let me down yet. I also much prefer the little clear tub instead of the old squeeze tubes it used to come in.
Worked like a charm! I added this to my Factory Team kit order when I placed it and was satisfied with the results. Yes, you can use shock oil in place of this stuff, but It's a small price to pay for a lubricant that really does work. I would added it again in a heartbeat if I was building another kit.
Reviewers broadly rate Green Slime highly, mainly for sealing and lubricating silicone o-rings on shocks, differentials and engine components, with several noting it stays in place and keeps o-rings supple. One reviewer compared it with other o-ring greases and found it held up better in diffs than most alternatives. Some say it is expensive relative to its quantity, though others feel it is worth the cost. Reviewers differ on packaging: one prefers the current clear tub, while another notes the small tube shown in product images is no longer used. One reviewer reports it is not suited to nitro engine sealing and recommends a separate engine sealant. One reviewer suggests it may be repackaged Noleen SF-3 grease, which is unverified.
