The graphite grease is a powder substance; i just bought some from the LHS. I think u should try and find some. My LHS is Roy's Hobby shop in Fort Worth, TX. Check them on line at www.royshobby.com

Best thing for thrust bearings I've seen so far is "Mugen Super grease"

About the Graphite lube (dry powder), you can buy it in any auto parts store (autozone, trakauto, etc)
I mixed the graphite powder with 7000 diff lube and got a good sticky grey thing for thrust bearings

A good grease also is the one used for engines assembly , it has molybdene.(also at autoparts stores)

50weight oil for thrust bearing sounds kinda thin

I previously had put AE black grease before, but I have found that i doesnt last very long.

i should try to get what the manual calls out for.

thanks

Parma Bumper Brace #8057 .... just drill your own hole for the posts and shave the ends a lil' to fit under front of the body if needed.

Try to get the mugen super grease. It's good grease and works perfectly. One tube is enough for a season or 2 ( I think ).

Just put a drop of the Serpent oneway lube on the shaft and smear it all around. Put it in the oneway bearing and turn it till every roller gets lubed.
