If you feel the inclination to add grease to plastic, it gas to be pure silicone divers grease that contains no added plastic corrosives. FYI: Grease is not recommended for Plastic gears, gas been known to do more harm than good.
Also I opened all the shocks on 3 separate TRX-4m’s and there was only a drop of oil. Refill all of them like they should be and it will be so much better
That might be OK for bearings my friend but this truck comes with bushings they have to have grease or the steel shafts will wear the brass bushings out very fast and your gears will start skipping 😀
The steel shafts siting in brass bushings I think should have grease at any speed would benefit from grease I work in a plant that runs brass bushings on machinery that i maintenance and when they don't get greased it really wears out fast and Gears start striping teeth from the slop just my opinion
AS USUAL JAPANESE AMERICAN BRAND ALWAYS WANT MORE PROFIT SO THAT WHY I CHOOSE CHINA BRAND MUCH CHEAPER VALUE FOR MONEY LIGHT, GREASE, EVERYTHING ALL OUT.. 😊✌🏻
You only want to use silicone based grease on plastic gears , but grease really isn’t necessary for plastic.
plastic gears usually dont need greese. depending on the type of greese you use it can break down the plastic and make it brittle.
Yes that is true in some cases but this truck has bushings and the steel shafts are dry on the brass bushings that's a lot of heat and friction
@@AdventureTimeRCbrass bushings are self lubricating
bronze bushings and nylon gears are better left dry especially at low rpm
Thanks 👍🏼

No grease more saving money, the o rings I would put some heat shrink over them for now.
The heat shrink is a brilliant idea Malcom
@@AdventureTimeRC 🙂it will also stop the pin pushing passed the O-ring.
Great advice
Most people don’t check because most Toss it few weeks after purchase
My transmission and front differential ate themselves within the first day. Going to open up when my parts get here.
I wonder if they do that cause they know you’re gonna put the low gears in em

What kind of oil?
Only grease if using outdoors in damp conditions. No point if using inside or rock crawling
you don't need any geese really for plastic gears if anything for that small rc put Olive oil in there just a tad it works like wd40

@@AdventureTimeRC yeah i guess i didn't think about that haha
Lol grease is our friend 😅🤣😂
Traxxas tough
Don't use grease on plastic gears
Your not going fast enough for grease.....personal preference for different rigs!

That’s called planned obsolescence to get to money 💰.
Traxxas is trash. I've owned many of them over the years. I moved on , armma or Losi is where it's at
