| Re: Jato the Trail King I wouldn't call it a marine grease, but it is water resistant. It's a thinner gear grease of some type. I love the viscosity of it because it's not super thick so it doesn't add a lot of drag to axles, but it still seems to stick to gears pretty well. Copied from the Vanquish site (including the misspellings): -This is a high quality synthetic grease blend we procure from our lubrication manufacturer -Formulated from the highest quality base stocks combined with state-of-the-art anti-wear additives -Water resistant, clean, safe and non-toxic -Recomended as one of the best greases there is for lower tempature gear, bearing and general use applications |

Dang, Jato...your TK is looking mighty good. I also plan on upgrading to the from OD gears & brass steering knuckles, but I want to finish the kit stock first (ok, mostly stock, as I'll have already installed the aluminum shock hoops). My other reason for delaying those parts is that I'll probably upgrade the axles (machined aluminum), and wouldn't want to rebuild the axles twice. Regarding the grease, nice choice. I thought of using that, but I'm still sticking with my Maxima Racing Oils Waterproof Grease (the translucent deep -blue stuff). ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

| Re: Jato the Trail King Yes...same waterproof grease I use. It's really is great. The Vanquish great has a somewhat "pastey" look & texture to it, the Maxima grease is like a VERY thick gel. ~ More peace, love, laughter & kindness would make the world a MUCH better place |

| Re: Jato the Trail King I don't like very thick grease in RC's. It adds too much drag for my liking. If nothing else, that hurts run time.
