Mobile one full or semi synthetic is fine. Just make sure you don't get something to overlly thick. -Jason |

I use high viscosity marine grease. Its not somthing to use to "pack" somthing full, but it works for a light application to everything.

Do not use white lithium, it dries out and gets hard fast. I use Lucas Red & Tacky, from what I get it's about the same as the mobile one mentioned above.

I use marine grease to. You can buy small tubes of it. It does better at repelling the water and things, so if you drive in water or mudd thats my $0.02 |

I've been using bar soap on my gears in my race trucks for a few years, and I've started using it in my crawlers as well now and haven't seen any noticeable wear and everything still spins smooth.

I was just shopping for grease as well. I ended up with a tube of Lucas Red & Tacky for about $4.00. I have not seen any negative reviews on it. The only product I have seen with nothing but positive reviews was the gearjelly. Even though it is made by rocksmith, Team3Six is a distributor for it. I probably should have bought it, but the Lucas Red & Tacky should be good enough for my needs. |

This is what I had at hand when I built my crawlers and it seems to work well: http://www.philwood.com/products/greaseoilhandcleaner/ Narly1 |
