Vintage Tamiya

Hi all what's the best grease to use on a plastic Tamiya gearbox ?

Tamiya has their own grease or white lithium they probably recommend but I use red and tacky from Lucas oil regardless. Or the red synthetic from mobil 1

Red n tacky is also what I've always used as well

If you're working with plastic gears I'd reccomend "Super Lube", its a mineral based grease thats safe for plastic. I use it anytime that I have to work with those dreaded self-tapper screws.

Lithinium, red and tacky. or any petrol-based grease can be used on metal (like metal diff gears), but they are bad for plastic.

I use Mobile 1 synthetic grease.
