How much grease and what kind?
When building my losi kit I found that the tube of grease wasn't very much. Just curious, how much grease do you put on your ring and pinion gears? Just enough to cover all the teeth on your ring gear? Not sure. As well, what is a good brand of grease to by from amain or tower. Thanks. Ken

RE: How much grease and what kind?
I just use automotive bearing grease on mine. I can get a whole tub at the auto parts store for what it costs for a tiny tube of the hobby stuff. Obviously, the red stuff that comes in the kit is different, but I bet you can find that same thing or an equivalent at the auto store. I just use the bearing grease because it's what I had on hand and it's pretty heavy duty grease.
I put on just enough to cover all the teeth and call it good.

Same here, just a squirt of grease from the grease gun is all I use. I usually cover the teeth, then mesh it together and reassemble and roll it around. Then disassemble and wipe the excess away.
