I have decided to name my wraith "Time Bandit" mostly due to the fact it "steals" just about all my free time lol

Wasn't Time Bandit, one of the Ships that was on that show about crab fishing in the Bearing Straights off of Alaska?

I honestly believe I saw that movie. Was part of the 3D movie Craze in the 1980's

Power corrupts. Excessive power corrupts excessively!

What grease do you use for gears, transmission/axle? I'm use to the rc10's with just the little tube of black grease. Something better to use?

I just used the associated tube of black grease for differentials in the diffs and trans gears. I don't pack them solid but there is plenty on the gears..mine usually takes 1 tube to do all the gears in the trans and both diffs..

there are lots of people who use many different types of grease, but this has been fine for me.
