Best lubricant for your RC Cars, white lithium grease! Best grease

[@MusicStudent1]

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

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!

[@FAKE-NAME]

For the wltoys 124017's I followed your advice and used white lithium grease in 6 cars and they're doing great.

[@74Gee]

Lubricating better, or less viscous? Could be both too.

[@Hellseeker1]

Thank you for the time and effort that went in to this

[@Ghryst]

as a mechanic, im wondering why you are greasing screw holes... why not use an anti-seize compound? grease is not designed to hold fasteners together like anti-seize is.. those screws are gonna come loose

[@LMH710]

Would spray white lithium grease work as well

[@luisecheverri9744]

What do you think of thr red one

[@Filarel]

Well, in my country it is very hard to get white lithum grease. Will normal lithum grease (or bearing lithum grease) be okay? I've seen people saying that it is bad for platic. But since we don't have it in shops, my friends are using bearing lithum grease and says nothing bad happens and it runs smooth. I will propably do the same. Do you have any knowledge or experience about greases? Exact name of this grease is CX80 Bearing Grease (temperature -25c to +225c, used for high velocity / speed bearings, color is transparent / yellowish). We have white lithum grease with PTFE, in spray. But it is more watery, it changes to grease after few seconds, but still more watery that your grease. Also, we can order same grease as you are using, but it is expensive (4-5 times as much when compared to bearing lithum grease or white spray). So that is why I'm asking.

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.

Do you have a how to clean video lol I have an ultrasonic cleaner would that work?

[@craigknox8516]

Would the plastic diff casing be OK with the lithium. How long would it take to start rotting the plastic (genuine question) thanks

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

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. 😊👍

[@craigknox8516]

@@JohnRobinsonRC ahhh rite. Thanks for the reply. I will start using it myself then. Nice 1 mate

[@RuwanaGaming]

Hi can i use white lithium grease on gearbox on my crawler ?? Or is there another type of grease for gear boxes

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

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.

[@RuwanaGaming]

@@JohnRobinsonRC Thank you ❤️

[@JohnRobinsonRC]

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. 😊👌

[@JustRC]

I use white lithium on every single gear in my crawlers. Works great.

[@JustRC]

@@PatrickBaptist white lithium grease is not oil. It’s tacky and doesn’t leak.

[@chriscottell6854]

Is it good to use on xmaxx 8s diffs?

[@TheBabyskywalker]

Thanks’ Very helpful indeed

[@JmanRc]

So can ya use the white lithium grease on plastic gears or no....

[@Xbot4Life]

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

[@Teamster542]

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

[@bryanlynch5563]

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.

[@PaulPhillipsIndy]

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!

[@KalibasauRC_64]

Nice

[@bismuth7730]

Cant wait for this petroleum based grease to ruin my plastics

[@daijoubu4529]

This exactly, do not use petroleum based grease if in contact with plastic, all metal housing, OK, use a sythetic or silicone grease

[@DanRussell-q8s]

@@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 .
