Title: Gear Lube
Post by: aziz76 on March 27, 2017, 05:58:41 AM

Hi Guys,

I am in process of building my N7, my first Nitro. Having seen Chris's excellent build video series and done quite a bit of research, I have not come across anything relating to lubing gears such as tail drive gear box bears, main gear, tail box gears etc...

I usually like to use Dry Fluid to lube all those gears on my electrics, is there any reason not to use this on a Nitro?

Thanks,

Aziz

Nitro exhaust is a great lubricant.  8)

Although its not needed as Darren indicated , I do put a coat of dry lube on all my gears.

Cool, as long as it doesn't hurt anything, I will stick to my habit.

Thanks guys

Don't guess it would hurt.. but on a nitro model it's not needed.

This is what I use on my N7, works really good.

Nitro's self lube their gears with the oil from the exhaust stream. The only issue is keeping things lubed but free from dirt and other debris.
