I took some transmission grease from my Losi kit to use.
And I put it on the plastic/metal gear mesh teeth inside the diff, correct?
Also one of my a-arms is binding, it doesn't flop up and down freely. I thought I remember back in this thread earlier about drilling those out. Or perhaps a little light oil? Any suggestions?
As well there is some slop moving forward and back on both of these a arms, no shims? Is this normal?
The jar of grease is what you can use on the ring and pinion gear. I like using Mobile 1 grease.
Is your arms binding with it assembled with everything else? If it's ur rear arm, check the outer captured hinge pin on the the upright. When that's being tightened, it can squeeze the plastic. Make sure there is a little slop. Also check the sway bar, where it's attached to the a-arm. If that big nut is too tight it will bind.
