| R2 Maintenence?
How often should these things be torn down and cleaned/regreased? I just had mine apart a few days ago to install a new output shaft (gear went bye-bye), and also cleaned/relubed it. It was quiet for about a day, now its screaming again. |

Rocksmith gearjelly. I have heard that it does wonders for the R2 gears. Might try it.

I've been running 3 for about 2 or so yrs.... What's maintenence? I have never touched them, or are they noisey... All I have done if needed is blow off the disco and add a drop or two of oil afterwards |

Would KY be a good lube or something a bit stickier?
