I can't say exactly how often you should grease the axles since I am new to the Bully as well, but I can say that you need to grease them when you first get them because they just have a light oil on them, and you need to put something like Lucas Red N Tacky or something along those lines on them before you run them.

If in doubt change it out. I have yet to see a schedule like on 1:1 engines , i would say depending on how hard and often you run check it monthly or even more if your driving it daily. It also lets you see what wearing and going to need replacement so you can get the parts ordered for when or if they go out.

I ran mine for about 9 months... 10-11 Comps.. Never changed or even cracked the case open. Tore it down for the 2010 season. They were fine.. Clean everything, lubed the bearings and re-greased the gears. If you use Red-n-Tacky don't fill the case up. Just put enough on the gears to run smooth. If you over grease the gears. It puts a load on the motor that you don't need. White Lithium doesn't seem to stay on the gears as well. When it heats up. It spins on the gears. You end up with more grease on the case and not on the gears.
