Default Needle Greaser

All I have are 1;1 grease guns?

What do you guys use for Rc needs?

I'm thinking of things like greasing worm gears on Losi axles, etc.

Thanks,
Chris

Chris, I use the same grease gun I use for my Jeep. I bought a grease needle that snaps on the end. I cut the sharp point off so it would got in the grease port on the axle easier. Got the needle at Tractor Supply but the local auto parts store should have it as well.

Be sure to use Lucas Red n Tacky in the worms. My worms still look new.

I have a few left over turkey flavor injectors from thanks giving . Grease should flow just fine from there. But I agree on the needle if you have a fullsize gun. I dont know if the red and tacky comes in a tube though.

I just so happen to have some red'n'tacky in the garage. I'll look for the grease needle at the auto parts store.

http://www.oregonchain.com/homeowner...grease_gun.htm been using this on my losi for quite a while, and even with the supplied grease in it, my worms are taking little to no wear and running cool (stock not hd)

A bottle syringe from any chemist or Drugs store works brilliantly. Just suck the grease in and pump it out, you can even buy hobby grade syringe needles off ebay

This works pretty great. I had a bunch of them, every time my kid is sick you get one or two with the meds.

That mini gun works pretty good but you need to change the tip out.
