ive searched and searched and read now the question what grease to use in a ax10 tran

[Duuuuuuuude]

These are toy cars, not F1 cars. I think many of your are overthinking it.

You only need a light coat of something on your trans gears. Just enough to reduce friction. Shock oil, diff oil, gear oil, motor oil, silicone spray, pretty much anything that is slick and will stick to the gears. Hell, you could blow a booger on them and it would work, at least up until the point it dried up. Like CHUD said, you'll break them before the chemicals attack the gears and cases enough to compromise them.

I've never run any kind of lube in the bazillion axial tranny's I've built over the years, and rarely stripped a gear. When I bought rigs off of other members who had lube in them, the gears always stripped in short order. Now it makes sense why, never even thought about the line softening the gears...
With no metal to metal contact, why do they need lube?

Exactly, however, I'm not sure its because the grease is actually softening the gears.
