Grease the ring and pinion in the axles, and the gears in the trans. I run everything else dry. I may put a few drops of light machine oil on the u joints.

What kind of grease would be best for the diffs and trans? Anything special?

Would white lithium grease be okay or is it too thin of a grease? I have some stuff called 105. Lubriplate.

Marine grease...water proof, can't get it off my fingers...sticks to my gears, inexpensive, you can't ask for anything more |

Just watch some grease isn't plastic friendly and will weaken the plastic over time. Whatever you use just make sure it is plastic safe. A lot of marine grease is plastic friendly. I use a dry lubricant for bicycles called white lightening in U's and spur/pinion. It doesn't attract of hold dirty and grim stinks like hell though.

Cool I have White Lightning stuff too. I will use on other parts but I wanted something for the differentials so I am using the Lubriplate Marine wheel bearing stuff, the diffs are mostly metal parts which is nice. I didn't put too much in there anyway. My build is slowly coming along. Step 4 I think..lol. Good tip on the White Lightning, I am glad I got tons of that stuff...hehehe. | |
