axle grease? what kind?
^^^^^^^ what the topic says, what should i use name/brand?

You can use graphite or a silicon spray for electronics.
|
that kind of stuff is pretty thin right? cause i don't really need something heavy that will attract dust like mad.
|
Graphite lube is basically dry. So, it's safe if you're worried about dust.
|
Lube isn't really necessary, as the axle is polished. You need to also make sure that whatever lubricant you use doesn't attack the plastic.

Graphite is gritty and baby powder a little gritty , not only that I think graphite is a conductor of electricity.
I turned my cars upside down and sprayed the front hubs and rear axle assembly (while running) with silicone spray. The carrier agent in silicone evaporates leaving the silicone...doesn't attracted debris. Lubricating is a great idea, works great, increases performance and longevity...kudos to the instigator! |

Best thing to use is lubricant from a Monarch Marking pricing gun. I have no idea how you can get a hold of the stuff. I have had the same two bottles of it from when I used to work in a grocery store. I have used this stuff on my mountain bikes for years because I only need to put one drop per link on the chain and It repels dust and dirt very well. I will try to see if I can find out some more info on it for purchase. Now you can always get a hold of food grade mineral oil (The same stuff used to sharpen knives)Hope this helps!:D

very nice cars you got there broncoman. Btw i found some sylicon spray in the house. So i'm gonna test it out, One last question (annoying aren't i?) If you get sylicon spray on the electronics is it ok?
|

Im new here but i play the trumpet.
And any valve oil (NOT SLIDE GRESE) works really well. I grease my idler motor and wheel gear thingy alot and mine is almost silent and fast. |

Yeah my Toyota Supra Booster is fast for having no mods. It seems really slow with out the booster button pushed in, But there is a switch on the back of the booster controller that allows the booster function to work all the time without pushing the button. I just picked up a Skyline microsizer that I put the gold wheels from a Impreza on the 49MHz chassis, It looks really cool. All of my other microsizers are still stock.
