| Grease for pinion
Hey maybe a stupid question here but what are you using to grease up the motor pinion and axle gears inside your bully's? Also do I need to add grease to the bullies or are they ready to go from the shop? Thanks.

on the rc4wd site it says axles come with no grease in them. I used rc4wd monster lube for my bully axles. I read some use that, rockjelly, or vp 8.0 i believe.

Lucus Red-N-Tacky works great and its only around $4 at Auto Zone. It comes on a tube for a greese gun so if you are only using it for RC it will last a life time. It is what most guys run in LCC axles and it works great so you know it will hold up fine in a regular axle.

I'll second the red & tacky its what i use. Also just a nice thin coat on the gears should do it , you don't want to glob it in there and have it seeping into your motor.

I use the same grease in my bullies that I run in all my axles and to grease my 1.1 Jeep joints and such. Marine grade grease from Advance or Oreilly. It works great!
