Marine grease for me.

Thanks man I run the same I have a bad habit of hitting water whenever I see it (no matter how deep it is haha @RxMonkey

Have always used super tech lithium grease from Walmart


Keep the land vehicles out of water and save yourself a lot of headaches Get a boat for water - get a deep v first

Yeah for @Spar69! it better be water rated

I use similar stuff. I was using a gold colored generic axle grease I got at autozone a decade ago, but found 2 tubes of general purpose black stuff on a shelf and started using that recently. It's what's on my front diff. Although, it felt "lighter" than the axle grease. Like butter vs crisco.

I use chap stick lol

Haha WTF

Lol no joke dude.. Its an old trick with my tc's and i guess it's just habit now. Lol

I run marine grease in my Talion and just as a trial run I put Lucas Engine oil treatment in my Outcast/Kraton it’s like 1M weight Traxxas oil I’ve noticed when pulling diff housing covers off the grease slings and sticks to the housing and doesn’t do much for the actual diff I’ve had no leaks or seepage so far

I contacted them today and they didnt really anwser my question I ask if there was a reccommendation on the best diff oil fluid grease

What would be the point in running 100,000 in the front

Drag racing? From what I gather, the thicker oil in the front, the less steering you have.

I run 50k/500k/50k in my outcast and a black multi-purpose grease on the ring/pinion. Probably didn't need 500k in the center, but it allows for give in the drivetrain while not unloading to the front every time I hammer the throttle. 50k is in the f/r just because it's what I had and it helps get power to the ground when high centered on stuff and it leaks out less.

I've been having good luck with Tamiya molybdenum grease.

Do you run your ring and pinion dry like no grease inside the bulkhead? cause i been running mine dry for a couple packs no issues

That's not a good idea. The only one you run dry is the center spur and pinion. You need to grease the front and rear.

I usually do but everytime i pop open the diff cases their full of dirt&grease seems like it just attracts the dirt more than anything and it flings off the gears within the first run
