Works for me as I have used ALL of the grease marketed in the past because my field of expertise was that of an ASE Certified Auto Technician.

Opinions are good. They educate and identify options.

I've put weights into some tanks to balance front and rear, particularly on the rear drive tanks. This helps with traction, especially on hills. The added weight will put more strain on the motors and drain the battery faster. The other advantage to heavier tanks is that they crawl through the grass better when backyard driving. That said, heavy tanks lose responsiveness faster when in IR battles.
