Bearing Oil
 
I just wanted to check in to see what OIL everyone is using to lube their CR-01 bearings before I start my build?

None at first. But I have gone back through the truck with some Trinity oil.

I have Trinity oil as well. I've only cleaned and re-oiled the bearings once since I've had this rig and that was about 2 weeks ago. And I only did the bearings in the ends of the axles and where the drive shafts enter. They probably didn't even need it, when i removed them they all spun perfectly, even after all those water crossings:)

i usualy soak my bearings in zoom spout turbine oil when i rebuild my stuff.

Thanx for the tips! I'll juice them up before install!

wat kind of grease would be good for stuffing in the axles and tranny gears to prevent water from entering? i am running out of the grease that came with the kit and wantd to get sum more, thanks.

Water will get in the tranny regardless. That big opening in back where the pinion is will let it in unless you can block it off somehow.
