|  Axle Lube & maintenance
Has any one ever tried using { Never Seez Grease}? That silver stuff in a can ? I may give it a try and see how well it works when I get my LCC. I know it works great for any bolts and nuts ,and metal to metal parts making contact with each other. I do agree with breaking in the transmission gears making it as smooth as possible . & Thanks for the great tips about Tranny shims and drilling a lube hole in the Axle Pumpkin.  Those wheel weights that push into the outter wheel that are round and brass looking ; Are they just brass bullet cases from a .243 or .308 rifle shell? They sure look like it from some of the pics I've seen.

| ummm no
If you put that stuff in(never seez), you might as well toss everything out and start over...you can't mess around with worm gears, they're unforgiving to say the least.

| weight
the trend has been AWAY from wheel weights (aka rotational weight). Knuckle weights are much much better...you'll find a thread about it right here in the Losi forums.

+1 on Lucas Red n Tacky. Been running it since day one and I'm still on the original worms and spools and they still look great.

Ahhhh Good to know. I won't even try it then.{ Never seez} So Lucas Red n tacky it is. Learning something new every day. Years ago Team Associate had a grease in a little can that worked great for gears. It was tacky but very slippery. Friction is a tranny's and diff.s worst nightmare. Thanks for the tip. Feel free to include any that aren't already posted in the tip forum.
