They still get pretty warm though don't they? I have a very funny memory of someone picking a Losi up and getting burned by the front shaft. |

What about the High Temp Red Grease they sell at Wal-mart?? I already have some of that stuff... I have used it in the Past with good success...

Drill a hole in the axle housing and use a set screw as a plug so you can ad grease regularly . For grease , I have tried a few different brands and types . I found Silkolene RG2 to work the best while keeping the worms pretty cool . I can run for a couple of hours and never get hot . |

you can try the red grease you have as its likely better than whats in the axles now. just check the temps often and see how it does, and every now and then to see how well the grease works you may want to take the axles apart to check wear. if everything looks good over time then you will likely be fine with your current grease
