Synthetic grease is fine for your diff gears. I wouldn't use any lithium based greases. I bet that guy is going to recommend Lucas white lithium 🤣
 
i know and that guy was rambling on about them and accusing me for putting so called motor oil and anti seize in diffs and I'm like no i was talking about both transmission and diffs and then he yaps more about comparing a arrma 1/5 8s setup to a tiny traxxas 2wd like bro, totally different things buddy and no one needed that info. And then he thought a 272R was just a slipper clutch like no its a whole transmission setup.

I can comment on these things all day, this brings tons of entertainment to me and i love it lol.

I guess the mods there didn't want me posting any correct info. Both of my posts have been deleted. And I didn't even say anything bad to anybody. That is precisely why I stay away from FB. It has been overrun with idiots.
 
Been using it for years, carry on.
It's mostly groups. They are filled with idiots from my experience. I posted in the thread David is referring to twice, answering the OP's question with a lot of useful info, and for whatever reason, both posts were deleted 🤷‍♂️

Meanwhile, there is an arguement going on violating their "rules", and they let that go? That group has always been one of the most toxic RC groups there is.
 
Hell- I've put black RTV in a center diff before, mixed with 500k. After several runs, I opened & checked. The RTV never dried. The diff acted like a diff, but too much wheelie. I surmise that it made it like a 750k or 1mil+. Just a .02c in there. David, you're right, that FB dude is wack.

i know. Who are you going to trust. A 16yr old Teen with about 10 years of RC knowledge and born with common sense, or some random guy who is trying to compare a 4wd 1/5 truck to a 1/10 2wd truck and thinks he knows everything lol.

He is darn near illiterate too 😅

It's why I generally don't bother with anything RC on the fakebook. Idiots will just drag you down to their level, and beat you with experience. 😁

Or the group admins won't even approve your posts when you post anything factual and useful 🤪

I guess my grease recommendation wasn't idiot approved 😆
