Default RE: Loud Swashplate Help!

Josh,

Doesn't sound too serious...but if you want to lube it, the best thing I have found, and most people agree, is called Tri Flow...

It is oil based, with a teflon additive, so it won't attract dirt as much, as bad400 mentioned, and is an excellent lube for most parts on any RC helicopter (except where grease is used, like thrust bearings and such).

It's kinda hard to find, I got mine from a bicycle shop, they use it alot on bikes, and my bike shop had a nice selection.

A good idea for any helis you might have, or get, if/when you get the Belt CP, it would be great on that too...

It is a little bit expensive, probably like $7 for a bottle, but a little goes a long ways..don't need much...

Hope this helps!

Glenn

P.S. Didn't know if you spotted this Blade 400 deal or not...seems pretty good, and free shipping too...just a thought...
