For cleaning pick up Simple Green or Mean Green https://www.walmart.com/ip/Simple-G...oYXBCc9Pyo1I1vQ9U6HdHpm_MLlS2dfEaAjOcEALw_wcB
I like to mix 2 parts denatured alcohol, 1 part simple green and a dash of wd40 in a spray bottle. It makes a great rc cleaner.

For lubing the outer diff gears you can pick up Red and Tacky(don't put this inside your diff) https://www.walmart.com/ip/Lucas-Oil-10005-Red-N-Tacky-Grease-14-oz/36052506

If your Walmart has it try to find this for lubing the cvds and hinge pins https://www.walmart.com/ip/DuPont-Teflon-Chain-Saver-Dry-Self-Cleaning-Lubricant-11-oz/16672659

For cleaning the internal diff gears use VM&P Naphtha it should be by the paint thinner in hardware. To make things easy use something like so you don't have to go fishing for the parts https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B06WXXF81Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A299NF32VGUUHZ&psc=1

Walmart sells blue Loctite https://www.walmart.com/ip/Loctite-0-20-fl-oz-Threadlocker-Blue-242/19865317

That is all I can really think of off the top of my head.

I like to clean with simple green then grease joints with white lightning.

Either it has multiple times or we're trapped in a deja Vu loop...again

I prefer a lube that is designed to be used in dirty dusty conditions as it they are designed to not attract dirt.

I'm not sure if anyone has specifically asked what cleaners/lubes they can get from Walmart, but I know we have a few threads about how to clean your rc.

as above, either use a dry lube or none at all for CVD's etc. if you use grease or oil it attracts dirt and becomes a super fast wearing paste... use graphite dust for the pillow balls.

That graphite is pretty good too. Walmart has it by the keys, says its for locks on the package.
