anyone ever figure out what type/make-up is MUGEN PREMIUM grease? i am guessing its a anti-seize paste, with fluroine or ptfe? moly-kote brand? the stuff is quite costly, but works very well. some of the molyK's are hundreds and even 1000's of dollars for a small tube. which is quite crazy considering just how small they are, but i can say, the upper tiers of magic greases are quite amazing. At a old job, we had a grease that worked at super cold temps, as in 4.2-kelvin. (was a japan special, cryogentic grease) on same idea, anyone ever have TAMIA AW grease tested? theirs a few rc websites were people say its just a antiseize paste, but i am pretty sure its got some tamiya in house additives. (its NOT a 00 rated grease, but web searches might lead you to think so) when i was a kid, and had a job working on superchargers , we used somthing like the tamiyaAW grease, but ours was(shop i worked at) a custom additive blend, as nitro methane washed away almost everything it touched including the hard coating on the rotors. |

I use Maxima Waterproof Blue Grease, only because I use it on my enduro motorcycles and my trials motorcycles. It seems to work well on RC stuff as well. Here is a review of it by mountain bikers. https://www.maximausa.com/pdf/BIKE%2...e%20MTBMAG.pdf Here is what Maxima has to say about it: WATERPROOF GREASE is a smooth, E.P. Lithium complex multi-purpose grease manufactured in a NLGI #2 consistency- with the added benefits of a high density polymer to provide optimum service under most ambient temperature conditions. This distinctive multi-functional lubricating grease has very good mechanical stability (won’t thin out under normal usage), has excellent resistance to water wash out, clings to metal surfaces under severe conditions as it effectively reduces the coefficient of friction. Fortified with non leaded extreme pressure additives for high load carrying ability and extra protection under shock loading conditions. Rust & corrosion inhibitors provide a further margin of superior performance and protection under a wide variety of adverse operating conditions. And a review of it by mountain bikers. https://www.maximausa.com/pdf/BIKE%2...e%20MTBMAG.pdf Last edited by Stomp; 12-22-2018 at 08:04 PM. |

"has excellent resistance to water wash out" its a bit odd that the cover says WATERPROOF, but this is the description. no doubt its good grease, but does make one wonder why they say this. Ive tried many greases for bikes, (including motorcycles) and found they are quite high quality. its amazing how die hard some are about their greases, (refering to bike fourms) and the pro"s &con"s of each. it seems to me, about half prefer a dry type, and the other half prefer paste/solid greases. ill look into this stuff, see if i can get some testing data. (always a fan of greases) you ever try the dry stuff? (dry grease/lube) T9 is really great stuff, (considering it was a private company devlopment- boeing) but takes some time to dry. MO off is great, but dosent seem to handle high temps. dupont stuff, a oddball of the bunch. sticks to almost everything, lasts very long, and is hard to remove after it dries. it handles heat better than mo-off, but not much more. (300-350f) i've found that layers or coats of the stuff, can waterproof almost anything. it also seems to handle well and keep stable in sunlight, over time. still want to know about MUGEN premium grease, and i fear i may never know. that grease is stable, even when used in submerged water tanks. quite hard to remove with most chemicals, and really lasts no matter what you subject it to. (i havent tried to do a burn test yet, but considering it seems to have such high solids, would it help?) anyone here able to help? ps: see pics for some excellent dry lubes. (imo) |

| Re: Let's talk grease! What they are referring to is that the grease will not wash out when water hits it at speed. Many types of waterproof grease will wash out when hit by water at high speeds. An example is when I used to race enduros and you hit a puddle of water going 60+mph. The Maxima tends to stay put better then other waterproof grease I have used. For instance a rock is waterproof, but you can wash it off your driveway with a hose with some pressure. Grease acts the same way as it has a tendency to flow when hit by pressurized water.

I will have to look into the T-9. Sounds interesting. What parts are you using the dry lubes on? Do you use them on gears and bearings? Also if you are interested in trying the Maxima, I could send you a some to try. Maybe we could trade samples, I would be interested in trying the T9.

I've been using marine grease. But I'm trying something different on my Rock Rey build with Vanquish Products Gear Grease Rock Lube. Somebody on this forum mentioned that it stayed on better than red and tacky grease and was also less sticky. I'm all for that because red and tacky and marine grease are too tacky for RC. It creates too much drag for my liking. https://www.vanquishproducts.com/rc-...ase-rock-lube/ |

Ive always used Lubriplate 105 on my rc's. Ive built a handful of small blocks and a few 7-1100HP cummins with this as assembly lube. I have piles of it and figured heck why not Hasnt given me issues and two of these motors were back up and sat for almost a year before being used. It stays where it needs to for a VERY long time and doesnt break down. Cheap and works great on all my stuff.

I have been using Fluid Film on the driveshaft U-joints/slides and also on the steering knuckle joints. I use JD SD Polyurea for all gear applications.
