Diff pinion gear, inside the gearbox, use basically whatever grease you got to lightly coat the gears. The pinion and spur gear get nothing. Associated "black" grease is what came with my kits, and is nothing special about it. I personally use motorcycle maintenance waterproof grease for all my clingy slippery stuff needs. Shock building, gear coating, bearings, diff filling... a tub of the stuff will last me forever. The only thing I don't use it on is ball diffs in my 1/10 scale rides.

I agree with RustyUs on that ... sort of .
Pinion to Spur Gears
Plastic to Plastic = Nothing
Metal to Plastic = Nothing
Metal to Metal = A very very light coating of anything slippery ( requires regular cleaning as it holds the dirt )

Ya i like the slightly thin marine grease since i do a lot of water running. Pretty much any decent grease will work, just be sparing.

Sounds good. I know what I opened up my diffs, the pinion gears had what looked like anti-seize on them, and the bevel gears had diff oil.
