How much grease should be applied when building the front and rear transmission cases? Enough to cover the teeth of the gears? Liberal? A lot packed in? Cheers Last edited by Abrown83; 03-19-2013 at 04:06 AM. |

Don't pack it in, its not fudge!  Just cover the teeth. I always went liberal an always seemed to have too much in the end.. Since then I got some black n tacky an its bad ass! A few stops per gear.. Rotate a few times an the gears are coated.. Stays on too! |

I've been using red grease (auto stuff) and I always find it throws itself off the gears :S Is the black stuff you use Losi stuff? I have some of that that I may try, real sticky stuff. | |

I don't pull mine apart unless there's a need to. I did pull them apart a couple weeks ago to add VP upper mounts and they looked good. It had been at least four months since they were greased last and that's comping once a month and practice once a week. So with that schedule 4-6 months easy probably more. |
