Would have been nice to show how those parts were removed and reinstalled, as well as what type of grease. (You gave a brand, not the type). Thank you.

Thank you for this. I got their Fj40 and it’s bone dry. None of the “influencer” reviewers don’t talk about this sort of stuff, especially for this model. Much appreciated.

For a crawler with all a full interior, lights and a hard body with removable top for $329 , I will grease my own axles. The big companies could take note.

I agree. But i did this for the ones that just think its there. And its always good to check all of your rtr’s anyway.

Thanks for your explanation and the look in the drivetrain!!! I remeber mine FMS 1/6 Willys MB 3 year ago… the drivetrain of the 1/6 Willys was well greased(i change it to Bel RAY)It is newer wrong to get to the bottom of things. You get to know your RC car and know what‘s going on with it. By the way: i use BEL RAY WATER GREASE for Outborder, it does not absorb water and also protects against corrosion in/with salt water… Have fun with your FMS 1/10 Jeep YJ and have a nice day!!! 👍😀

With the configuration it has it seems that you will likely end up with grease on the slipper clutch surface after some driving. Just seems like an engineering oversight to me. Every reviewer I've watched that has gone into the gear boxes and axles has the same lack of grease situation you had. As a YJ owner i purchased this vehicle and have plans to do a complete teardown and rebuild before I apply power for the first time.

What's the difference in using a diff oil vs grease in the axle?
@DixielandRC2 жыл бұрын
Diff oil generally goes in a sealed unit and not open gears. Grease is better because it stays on what you put it on.
@SimplyMustGo2 жыл бұрын
@@DixielandRC Thank you. I got The Mashigan and local hobby shop told me to use the Diff oil but I'm seeing everyone else use grease.

No. Please use grease. I have Jims Bearings grease in stock in a little syringe that makes adding grease super easy. Its listed under Fluids on my site Dixielandrc.ecwid.com

While I prefer kits it seems like most people buy RTR’s. For RTR folks who buy FMS I think most folks don’t plan to maintain them. No grease makes me think there’s other things they cut corners on maybe quality of metal half shafts, cvd’s, etc.

Well any actual hobbyist tears down there RC vehicles to do mantinace every couple of runs anyways, so fully tearing down an RTR is just even easier than building a kit being you get to see it come apart as you tear it down & then reassemble it again properly.

I didnt. Lol. Someone offered me big money for it at an event after they went away. Use the fusion se You will have to cut a bit of the front battery tray thing. But wont be much to have to remove.

Not really in that particular spot. But everywhere else its a good idea. Plus we run these type of trucks in water. Grease is a great water deterrent. Rust is the biggest issue.
