Default RCP Ring & Pinion

I didn't know if you should grease the RCP Ring and Pinion. I know the teeth are deeper cut, but it sure makes a lot of noise when mocked up. Grease or not grease... that is the question? Thanks

I lubed mine up and they quiet down after you run them a few times.

How much? A lot or just around the teeth? I'm going to use white lithium.

I just filled the depth of the teeth on both the ring and pinion with Tamiya Ceramic Grease and they're virtually quiet.
