Default Squeaky Wraith

I bought a used Wraith and thing wrong seemed to be the axles are pretty squeaky. What do I need to grease, and with what kind of lube?

Depending on age, might be best to replace the bearings.

Lucas red n tacky, marine and motor assembly lube are my favs.

squeaking as in when the wheels turn it sqeaks or as in when the axles move up & down they squeak?
Mine squeaked a lot from the links when the suspension cycled & I recommend a dry lube like graphite powder or a spray on Teflon type for the links. If its when the wheels rotate Meatwad is on it. Tear em down check & replace bearings that are not smooth & grease the gears.
