Protek Premier White Grease for ring and pinion gears for the diff and Protek Premier Blue Oring Grease for shock orings. As for CVD's and universals on the driveshafts I use graphite spray because I don't want a wet lubricant attracting dust and dirt to those areas. The graphite spray dries very quickly and being a dry lubricant it doesn't attract dirt at all. Hasn't failed me yet.

Mobile 1 synthetic grease is a great all purpose grease.
I agree, RC companies are not producing their own grease products at all. Goto your local auto parts store and buy a huge tub of it for a similar price. |

As of now I use the XTR stuff. They have 3 different grease, a copper base, a lithium, and not sure on the o ring grease but they all work well.
I can second this, specifically the lithium white grease. My rings and pinions/ trans still look good. |
You can spend alot money, if you buy Sponsor Brands. Smal expensive bottles.
Or you can buy the same stuff cheap if you know what to look after. i use Marine Grease in outer diff gear rings and also in bearings , extra good in bashers and crawlers. No leaks, and bearings last 3-4x longer than oiled. I pack the bearings with alot Marine Grease. Like 90% packed, normally they are about 10-15% packed with grease. Too little if you bash in wet conditions or like to Mudding, and cross smal rivers with Crawlers. For indoor racing i would use full synthetic 2stroke oil in bearings. 1 quart about 10$ you just need a medical-syringe this is what Speed Bearing Oils are. Just rebranded smal expensive bottles. In my Current Speedrunners 100mph+ rigs i use my own special blend. Tiny amount Marine Grease and 2drops synthetic 2stroke oil. Im very happy. If i would do outside offroad racing today, i would use the same in these rigs, like in my Speedrunners. my own Special mix , a litte amount of both, marine-grease+oil Al these stuff you can find at Wallmart Inside diffs i use RC Car Silicone oils. i have more than 10 different RC Cars in use. 1/10 , 1/8 , 1/7 , 1/6 , 1/5 scale rigs, so I need alot different differential oil ratios/weights So i buy the big bottles that are at sales. 60-100ml Last time couple months ago i did buy 10 different weight of 100% racing silicone oil , each bottle 100ml , at half the price off 59ml team ass/lucas oil. This is what i do, because i have many different rigs that i bash alot. If i only had 1-2 cars, and did racing/club driving with one class 1-2 times week, i would just buy the Sponsor expensive stuff from Local Hobby shop, to support like i did long time ago. In my speedrunners i clean and change liquids every 5 runs, about 1 full pack , about 5minutes drivetime very often Bashers every 10 packs, about 60-100min runtime Crawlers only by season, 1x spring/summer , and 1x autumn/winter MANY hours driving. Minium 15-20h I love Marine Silicone, this stuff is made for the most extreme conditions you can have, salt , water conditions, with high RPMs. I also have another secret for crawlers and bashers spray all your electronic stuff with CorroX HD special oil spray. You can run under water , totally soaked, no issues with ESC,s receivers or what ever. www.corrosionx.com&atb=v370-3ua]https://external-content.duckduckgo....osionx.com.icohttps://www.corrosionx.com › products › corrosionx-heavy-duty CorrosionX Heavy Duty - Corrosion TechnologiesCorrosionX Heavy Duty is dripless and resists displacement or removal by splash, rain, seawater or even pressure washing. It is ideal for long-term protection against serious rust and corrosion assault and in situations where the surface being protected is exposed directly to the elements. This is Marine spray on Steroids = pretty expensive also. Anyways one spray can last long, to many Receivers and ESCs and connectors. ( all electrical stuff )
