My trusty go to for years has been Park Polylube. Best bicycle grease out there's gotta be good for little cars and trucks. And I'm sure its available in them European markets too.
nice. i can find all of those on the shops here. thanks

Hudy Graphite Grease
If you've ever used graphite you know how smooth it is and how well it lubricates. This provides a silky smooth lubricant, great for CV joints, and wherever metal comes into contact with metal.
I purchased a container about a year ago and am now hooked!
A little amount goes a long way, the container it comes in is small but you only need to lightly coat the contact surface -more is not better. I use this on about 4 different cars that I race and got about a year out of the small container. Use it sparingly you don't need a lot for it to work!
To the person who posted that you can get marine grease for larger quantity and less price. Marine grease is totally different. Marine grease is lithium based. This Hudy grease is graphite based -totally different. Not only does graphite lubricate but it also helps keep parts moving with very little friction. Marine (lithium) grease can be "gloppy" and create friction. If your racing this would be really bad....mise well throw gum in your gears.

Graphite is extremely good...but, so it's ceramic. I'm 'curious', between Tamiya Cera-Grease, and Hudy Graphite Grease, which would actually perform better. Had anyone used both...and, if so, how did their performance, as well as their longevity, compare?

The cow rc marketing wank has always been a huge reason I'll never use their products. The wank works great on the dumb bastards that can't figure out they're being played. I'm sure it's fine grease just like what is available anywhere else in larger amounts for a whole lot less money.
As far as grease goes most anything synthetic will work great. I've never had an issue with petroleum grease and plastic simply because I don't use it.

Cera-Grease is also a good one, but does not stick as well and needs to be reapplied more often, especially if comes in contact with water. However i do use cera-grease on any plastic to plastic or plastic to metal as i know it's safe on plastic. Molykote EM-30L is also a decent plastic grease. Tamiya anti-wear is a grease like non-other as far as adhesion....you needs tons of brake clean to get this stuff off and puts extra strain on the driveline. I only use it to slow the action of a sealed limited slip diff. The difference in using the Hudy grease vs Tamiya Anti-Wear is huge....The Hudy grease helps free up the driveline and reduce heat in the electronics.
I've been into RC racing since the early 90s where lube is a lot more important, but i say why not apply it to these crawlers....
BOESHIELD T-9 is what i use on external driveline components. Designed by Boeing and does not attract dirt like some oils i've used. My CVDs last seasons instead of just a season when using grease on external CVD joints.
True aerospace technology - T-9 was developed and licensed by global aerospace leader, The Boeing Company, to fill a need for high-performance, long-term metal protection and lubrication. T-9’s unique formulation of solvent carrier and paraffin wax coating was engineered to penetrate crevices deeply, displace moisture, dissolve minor corrosion, and leave a clean, waxy coating with lasting durability - without using Teflon, silicone, fluorocarbons, MEK, or acetone.
Cleans - T-9 attacks existing corrosion, loosens rusty parts and flushes out old lubricants. It is also extremely useful for drying wet parts, electrical motors and circuits, ignitions and connectors.
Easy, fast and clean lubrication - Spray T-9 on and wipe off the excess for immediate use. T-9 dries to a waxy, waterproof finish without leaving a sticky film to attract dirt, dust or mud.
Reaches deeper - T-9 stays liquid long enough to permeate metal crevices and seep deep inside assembled components to leave a durable protective coating that lubricates and protects - all without dismantling your equipment.
One step to long-term protection - Apply T-9 to any metal surface and let it dry. One simple step gives you a thin, penetrating film of durable, waterproof protection and lubrication that endures, month after month, or mile after mile.
Completely waterproof - T-9 dries to a clean, waxy, waterproof film that won’t wash off in rain, puddles or mud. You can rinse away sand, dust and grime with water, while leaving the lubricant intact.
Tough but safe - T-9 will not harm paint, plastic, rubber, fiberglass or vinyl. It can be used on engines, wiring and belts. T-9 is non conductive and will not cause short circuits, so it’s also safe to use on electronics.
Perfect for coastal areas - T-9 is particularly effective for use in protecting all metals in salt water coastal areas.
Easy to remove - Use solvent or any emulsifying cleaner to remove T-9, or simply respray and allow T-9 to dissolve itself before wiping it off.
