loud gears??

if you have loud gears I have a fix for you

I had loud gears and this is what I did

1)take machine out and put it on gears

2)hit yourself on head for not putting out on before

!warning first few spins of the motor will spray out so do it where u can clean the oil up, and run it a few times withour the body as to prevent oil from getting on it

!any concusions resulting from the hit on the head are not my responsibility

I take it you meant to say put oil on the gears. Well, I don't recommend that as oil tends to pick up dirt/dust. I'd rather deal with noisy gears than to clean up oil and dirt/dust stuck in oil.

yea oil picks up dirt for a little bit
but once u clean it off it really makes it much quieter

I have found a DFL(Dry Film Lubricant) seems to work best on all the moving parts. It doesn't attract dust and wont fling off. I use Remlube (Automatic rifle lube). Give it a shot. Sorry for the pun...

Agreed, dry lubricants are better, IE silicon or graphite. And don't be a cheapass and take a pencil to your car...drop the $3 and get a ton of the stuff.
