|  What lube/oil/grease do you use for your rig?
Hey guys just after some info on what you guys use on your rig? Mines an axial scx10 I use team losi 30,00wt diff oil inside my diff gears.. I use Highspeed car grease outside my diff gears.. I pack the whole diff with it..Been running for 3months now seems good.. For my bearings,screws,cvs,dogbones,driveshafts etc etc..I use protecta lube http://www.pacificrimdistributors.com.au/protecta.htm I also spray a drop on my motor on both sides.. So what do you guys use? |

I use Rocksmith Gear Jelly on any of my metal gears and Tamiya white lube on my rigs with plastic gears. For shocks I use Associated Synthetic shock oil and for diffs I use OFNA Diff lube.

I use Losi shock oil in my shocks, Associated clear and black lubes for the diffs. I also have used CRC engine assembly lube (I had a large tube ) I think it is the same stuff as Associated Black lube. Then I pack it all with water-resistance Marine grease  . So I guess that cancels it all out.

Pedro's Syn-Lube and Tri-Flo. Both hold up very well and are easy to find. |

I use Mobile 1 synthetic gear lube (bearing grease) for trans/diff/tcase gears. Shocks get whatever oil I have. I think I've got some Losi, Axial, Associated, Ofna, Mugen. Some of the "shock" oils I use are actually light weighted diff oil...to get some heavy weighted shock oil.  |

Rocksmith Gear Jelly goes on all my ring and pinions, and in my transmissions. Great stuff.  |

I used to use gear jelly but now just use red silicone grease. Haven't seen much/any difference?  For shock oil what ever brand that's cheapest & available. Again can't tell a difference? Just don't use automotive petroleum based products. They can mess the plastic up!  Oh and tri flo is one of my favorite things! Great in cvds/300s!

Is it safe to use white lithium grease? That is what the guys at my LHS recommend.

Castrol LM lithium. About $5.00 / liter so you can use it with abandon, fill gearboxes and diffs till it squeezes out. It's almost too good for my rig!  Shock oil is the cheapest I can find, as long as it's weighted. It's only gonna leak out, get spilled on the rocks or thrown out when I change the weight. Why waste money on a branded product? Cheers. |

My R2D has been going through gear sets every 20th battery or so. It's set up with a 3S lipo, Sidewinder, & a HH 35T Torquemaster I've been using some blue Mobil grease (not sure of the name), but I think it is too thin. Her's hoping that Gearjelly will solve this issue! RockSmith's Site |
