in all mine i just use a automotive wheel bearing grease except my losi comp crawler uses lucas oil red and tacky all with good results

I usually use a real light coat of regular ol wheel bearing grease as well. I really don't see it making much difference between one type or another, as long as there is something on there. I hate getting something that someone has packed full, and its filthy trying to clean it all out. Something turning some serious rpm's like a savage or something I could see it maybe being a little more important.

X2, whatevers cheap, if I know i'll be in water, the housing will be packed full of it, I took my CC01 rear axle apart and it was full of water.

I use lucas red and tacky or mobil 1 synthetic whichever is closer to me when I need it...

I recently started using Losi Great Grease in my trucks (MOA and LCC) and am extremely happy with the results. It quieted the gears significantly in my bully...

hello all. Doesn't petroleum products cause plastic to soften? The reason i'm asking is because i'm going to clean and repack diff and tranny gears for the first time

I use lucas red in my mud bogger with good results.

I'm an avid supporter of Lucas Red and Tacky #2. I used to pressure wash heavy equipment and the only grease you couldn't wash off was the Lucas. You could spread it into a thinner layer, but not remove it. I run it in all of my fullsize rigs without issue so it should be good enough for an RC crawler.

I also pack my trans/axles full as part of a water damage prevention package.

I have been using this for a while now (well over a year) and it has been working great for me. I used it in my berg and I am not using it in my XR10. "thumbsup"

Rocksmith gear jelly is good stuff. Team3six can hook you up with some. Personally I stick with what I get from work, "chixsan" or "arctic" grease. We use it in our commercial LIQUID PROPANE pumps. Tacky and smooth.

i use the red and tacky in all my transmissions"thumbsup"

but i have found that the lucas X-TRA Heavy Duty #2 "green" grease works better in my worms:mrgreen:

big_boss 11-14-2010 11:25 AM

Rocksmith engeneering gear jelly is all I use.

cliffhanger007 11-18-2010 10:02 PM

I use Castrol extreme pressure bearing grease. It's a dark red color, sticky as glue and it stinks to high hell!
