Default ZX1 microlube "activation"???

Hmm... I read on their website that the anti-friction additive in ZX1 is "activated" at about 60C and so I wondered if bearings in electric power model cars even get up to that temperature? If not, wouldn't the bearings have to be heated up first before the additive "bonds" and is fully effective? I have an image of putting bearings in an oven or are there in fact "micro hotspots" when the metals move at speed?

I heard some team drivers use it... any tips guys?
