Diff Gear Greasing ?

[Merciless]

HI,

Just wondered if any of you are greasing the diff gears(main drive gear to diff gear) ?? Some friends running TC3's sware they run better/more freely for greasing with a very small amount of a teflon based grease.

What are your thoughts on this and if you are using a grease - What type Please ??

Thanks

Just put one or two little blobs of grease on the gears, you only need a small amount on, if you put too much on it will just fly off anyway. For the grease just use whatever grease you use to build your diffs, I use the Associated clear stuff.

I NEVER put grease on diffs, the nylon runs smoothy enough already.

Mine have been covered with a thin layer of silicone grease thsts been flung out of the diff so I dont think there is a lot of point in adding any specific grease for this.

Grease doesn't stick very well to nylon. . . . .what I would do is dip it on some teflon lubercant.

Ran tonight with the slightest amount of teflon grease on the gears (and i mean very little)

Less noisey and ran very well although it was also my first night using ceramic ballraces and there great ;D

Anyway i'd say alittle teflon grease is good

£5 @ halfords cycle dept. for a huge tube that will last forever

See, even after the grease spins off, the teflon will stick onto the nylon = a very smooth gear.
