Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone had heard of or tried to run in their gearboxes using any of those "Teflon" oil treatment products (such as PTFE "Slick 50" brand).

I haven't tried it myself but I reckon the process should work at this scale just as well. Just imagine, a quiet gearbox, almost friction free, and long lasting. It should also work on the bearings. Once the surfaces have been treated you could almost run them "Dry" without oil.

I wonder if it's worth trying. Unfortunately I only have plastic gearboxes but have just ordered a metal one from Mato.

Cheers Mario
