Heat is caused by friction.
We use the grease on all three diffs. Just pack it and forget it.
Very Intriguing! I wish this came up before I did my diff rebuild I would have loved to try it.
Curious though -- You said this "grease" you're using does the trick. Don't you take the resistance factor out of using different weight diff oils? My RC8be has 5k, 5k, 3k. If you use grease you don't get this difference. While the maintenance is simplified IMMENSELY (and believe me, I'm very interested to do this) --- Don't you take away from the performance & set up of the vehicle by using that grease? The reason why I have a lower resistence diff fluid in the rear is so I can get better cornering.
I'll be curious to hear your answer to this Team Grid
. And if you could, could you post a link of what grease you guys are using? thanks!
