Use sparingly, you need very little to do a good job.

Works equally well on nylon, metal or other plastics.

"Q. What is servo grease?
Use only silicon based servo grease when replacing servo gears. Using other type of grease not intended for servo gears may produce a gas when used in sealed cases which may coat a nasty film on the motor brush that could stop the servos operation. Hitec recommends our product #58450, servo grease."
