Oil & Grease

**iGP** · January 20

What oils or grease do you kind folks recommend using on gears/ball/differentials?

Black Moly grease is a pretty good all round one, if you want a thinner grease white Lithium is good

In our crawler portals and axles we tend to use the red and tacky bicycle grease :good:

I also found this but not sure if it's suitable as all-round usage, plastic on metal,, etc, etc.

I've also ordered Tamiya 53042 Ball Diff Grease and Tamiya 87099 Cera-Grease HG as you can guarantee I'll run out at some-point in the instructions.

One oddity that recently got recently was Synthetic Rubber Cement?
