fiso64 Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 (edited) Newbie here. I just opened the differentials of my Kyosho DBX VE 2.0, and there was no oil, just grease. There is also no mention of filling the diffs with oil in the maintenance manual, only applying grease. However, everybody seems to be saying that you fill them with oil. As I'm not planning to race, is it ok if I just apply some heavy duty grease to the differentials, rather than fill it with oil? The diffs have o rings and do seem to be sealed.

Stormbringer Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 if the difs are sealed ie got a gasket then you can fill with oil if they arnt sealed then youl need to use grease 🍻 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajadre Posted January 17, 2021 Share Posted January 17, 2021 like storm said about gasket or no etc everyones different i prefer oils as more choice of viscosity but grease works just as well i used to use castrol grease in my baja 5b all the time 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ninetiesbeard Posted January 18, 2021 Share Posted January 18, 2021 (edited) Yeah nothing wrong with using grease in the diffs. You can get different thicknesses of grease as well so, if your diff doesnt support oil then you can change it to a heavier grease if you want the diff to be stiffer Edited January 18, 2021 by Ninetiesbeard 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
