Hi guys,
I spent about a week reading this thread, while i was awaiting my TB-03R to arrive
There are some great tip and interesting post there.. it was amazing and i learned quite some stuff. Now my chassis has finally arrived and yesterday i started assembling it. I have a few questions regarding drivetrain looseness and lubrication though and would appreciate if somebody could give some advice. So here they come
1. Re-lubrication of bearings - It seems as if the stock bearings do not rotate very loose, and according to Andrew Kuntze's article at tamiyausa.com, i should remove their stock lube, and apply some light bearing oil. In fact when i try to rotate the differential w/o any other attached gears, just sitting on the two bearings - there is some resistance i can feel
2. Lube for differential gears - according the manual i should put from the black grease, but according other articles - should put AW grease... which is the correct one - and how much should i put
3. Lube for universals - again according to Andrew's article it is not good to put the AW grease on the universals - but should i not put any grease there at all? And does this apply both to the wheel axle and the joint with the differential?
Thanks in advance for any help provided
