I have been using the Lucas Oil White Grease for a long time and not just on RC equipment . Many furniture makers use it on the moving plastic parts and metal parts on recliners and such . It is long lasting and very slick ! It also makes squeaks disappear . Just try to remember that it is on the thin side and not thick like other grease and takes very little to do what ever job where you need lubrication .
I'm glad I found this video, purchased some of this white lithium a couple of days ago. Needed to change out a cracked front diff and wasn't sure if this was the correct type. Thanks for confirmation!
It's really good stuff for the right applications. John, change out the plastic hex's for alloy hex's...wheels spin freely tightened right down. if the nylon/plastic ones are over tightened it's like putting a disc brake on the hub. Consider changing them mate. As good as the Lucas white lithium based grease is, it is not suited for any of the guys who are tuning their diffs. Stick with silicone for this. The reason your white grease is spinning more freely is that you have to take viscosity into account. (cst values) . Yes it will ''' spin '' more freely with lighter fluids, However this is not always a good thing with the larger scale RC's. In saying all that, I hope you understand what angle i'm coming from John. The product is indeed amazing and it has its place. Change all your WLToys hex's to alloy mate, You wont regret the move. Take care John and thank you for your hard work.
Hiya. That's the reason I said it has to be white of the lithium grease time. The white version can be used with plastics and acrylic. I have been using it for 3 years now and not only have I not had any more differentials break, but no matter what manufacturers, there is no issues with the plastics. 😊👍
you shouldnt but imo, on a rc car, gears will probably break before they are made brittle one day in the future using the lithium grease. It wont melt in a day, month or more than likely, even a year
Sounds like you're running sealed diffs (gaskets to hold in fluid) whereas the diffs he builds in this vid are open diffs (no gaskets). The diffs in the video would just drool fluid if you tried to lubricate with liquid, hence grease instead of oil. Open diffs are not really meant to be tuned, mainly just if they work they work.
Would you say this would work well for planetary reduction gears as well? I saw online that NLGI #1 is recommended, and the lucas oil white is #2. I can get the #2 stuff at the hardware store, but #1 seems a lot harder to find. Thanks for the video!
@@daijoubu4529 It also has lithium soap or lithium cation and I am pretty sure the RC vehicle you may use it on will have been in the trash long before that happens .

Wow - I watched the whole video. What an interesting experiment. You deserve a lot of credit for doing all that!!!

Thank you for the time and effort that went in to this
Lubricating better, or less viscous? Could be both too.
Would spray white lithium grease work as well
Thanks’ Very helpful indeed
Would the plastic diff casing be OK with the lithium. How long would it take to start rotting the plastic (genuine question) thanks

@@JohnRobinsonRC ahhh rite. Thanks for the reply. I will start using it myself then. Nice 1 mate
Is it good to use on xmaxx 8s diffs?
What do you think of thr red one
Do you have a how to clean video lol I have an ultrasonic cleaner would that work?
Hi can i use white lithium grease on gearbox on my crawler ?? Or is there another type of grease for gear boxes
Hello. Honestly I cannot answer as I don't own any gearboxes. However my logical mind says that you should use specific rc gearbox oil.
@@JohnRobinsonRC Thank you ❤️
You are welcome. Just to add if you only had white lithium grease then I would work. But not as well as oil. But IT HAS to be white. 😊👌
I use white lithium on every single gear in my crawlers. Works great.
Nice
So can ya use the white lithium grease on plastic gears or no....
you shouldnt but imo, on a rc car, gears will probably break before they are made brittle one day in the future using the lithium grease.

white litium grease over silicone diff fluid?? How do you tune the car? I race 1/8 scale dirt

Cant wait for this petroleum based grease to ruin my plastics
This exactly, do not use petroleum based grease if in contact with plastic, all metal housing, OK, use a sythetic or silicone grease
