Hello,

I am brand new to RC. I am trying to fix an Emaxx for my kid. Upon opening the gear box, the plastic cover in front of the twin motors, I found no grease in the gears. It is necessary to have a little grease in the gears? thanks.

I am sure I will be back for lots more questions.

yes there should be some lubrication in there for longevity sake

HUH^?

Umm, NO! Do not run any grease on your spur or pinion gears. Those should be run DRY.

+1 on no lube or grease on your spur and pinion gears.

My RTR MT came from the factory with no grease so I figured that the it's not required. I also recall reading somewhere (may have been in my MT's manual) that you don't lube up those gears.

Coming from playing with big cars in my youth, I was thinking all gears need grease. Guess not, thanks. Almost smear a whole bunch on there this morning.
