4 kart-specific lubricants you should always carry with you

02 August 2025 • 5 min. read

Whether maintenance takes place during a day on the track or in the home garage, every kart driver regularly deals with tasks that require the use of lubricants. From seized bolts to transmission parts like the chain, sprocket and axle gear, from bearings to electrical connections, and even when fitting tyres, the need often arises. Despite what many might think, using a general-purpose spray like the well-known WD-40 is not always the most suitable solution. In many situations, a dedicated product delivers far better results by addressing the specific needs of each component. With so many options on the market, though, identifying what really makes a difference compared to a generic spray is not always easy. That’s why we’ve selected four lubricating sprays that should always be in your toolbox, ready for use both at the track and at home. All of them are quick and easy to apply, with no need for special equipment. But what really sets them apart is their formulation. Each product is developed for a specific purpose, whether it’s for treating the chain, protecting bearings, or preserving rubber parts.

N.B. Do you think there are other products that can be added to this selection? Do not hesitate to share them with other TKART users in the “Contributions” section at the end of the article. The community will be grateful!

Exced RS Super Chain Lube

A kart chain is exposed to considerable stress. It works under high mechanical loads and spins at extremely high speeds. That is why it is important to use a lubricant that can penetrate effectively into the links while staying firmly in place on contact surfaces, without being flung off or losing adhesion due to heat, even in harsh conditions like rain or high temperatures. According to the manufacturer, Exced RS Super Chain spray has been designed to meet these demands. Its formula creates a cohesive lubricating film that resists centrifugal force and remains stable at high speeds. The synthetic blend, combined with fast evaporating solvents, is formulated to balance penetration and grip. It is fluid enough to reach deep into the chain, yet thick enough to stay in place and avoid excessive loss. The 400 millilitre can features a flexible nozzle for precise application, helping to minimise waste and ensure even coverage across the chain.
