Best lube for my TCWS Throttle ?

Hello,

 

 

Today i bought a silicone grease from WD-40, the problem is that my TCWS HOTAS Throttle is a lot sticky, and it's still sticky with the grease i've bought, so i'm asking you guys what do you suggest me to buy instead of this silicone grease from WD-40, i've heard about the white lithium grease from the same brand.

 

 

Thanks in advance

Hope you aware that the friction on the throttle can be reduce by adjusting the screw underneath the throttle.

Push the throttle forward and use a Phillip screw to loosen it.

I used Super Lube 21010 NLGI2.

 

No issues so far.

Quelle marque ?

Swiss arms. C'est de l'huile silicone en aerosol pour airsoft. C'est pas cher et ça va très bien (fluide et durable).

Timotsuky I am sorry if I came out wrong about the way I presented my suggestions. Looking at my thread again, I can see why you felt so.

My intention was really well meaning and never to met to insult your intelligence.

 

All the best

Sorry ahah :D

I tried various lubricants, and found it basically made no difference.

The only way the throttle is usable to me, is removing the friction plate completely. Even then, its hardly silky smooth.

 

The problem seems to be the lack of linear bearings, so if you apply any pressure that is not in the direction of the rails, like some twist or particularly if you tilt the lever backwards, it simply locks up. Even without friction plate. It works okay if you apply some down pressure.

 

Its a cheap device, and I think everything else works pretty well (the POV hats are fine, I love the front levers, even the mini joystick is more usable than I expected), but for its main function, ie, being a throttle, its really unimpressive and only barely usable IMO.

 

If Im bored, I may try designing some 3d printable replacement part that lets me mount proper linear bearings. May not be easy, there is no room for traditional linear bearing unless I also relocate the shafts.
