Red and Tacky, I don't recommend it. It makes a mess you have to scrape off later. If you have any recommendations I'm open minded.Is that what I think it is on the pinion gear?
I never grease my pinion and spur.Red and Tacky, I don't recommend it. It makes a mess you have to scrape off later. If you have any recommendations I'm open minded.
It'll slow it down too, right? And make a mess.I never grease my pinion and spur.
Same here. Never use anything on there.I never grease my pinion and spur.
Maybe a little, but it’ll definitely make a mess!It'll slow it down too, right? And make a mess.
I used to use rust for lube, but then I got a brilliant idea. I'll slather my spur gear in grease. It took me thirty minutes to clean the lube/clay off of my truck and body. That was an experiment that won't be repeated.Dirt will wear stuff of so quick.
I tried to wrench today, but….
Give y’all a laugh from a newbie to the hobby
Last time son drove the big rock it started making funny noise and barely pull, it sounded just like the tmaxx when it stripped the spur. Didn’t verify, ordered a couple spurs for it. They came in, pulled it all apart, spur is fine…spin the rear end, well pinion and ring are stripped, no problem, ordered Rc4wd metal gears for it…got those in, went to swap…sorry dummy, you shoulda ordered the whole gear and diff set because you don’t have a diff housing to put it back together ( I assumed by the way they sold it the stock one would transfer over, wrong )
So instead I ordered a diff housing…
Maybe I shoulda put this in what did you buy today
Most of us can relate, I'm sure!I tried to wrench today, but….

Boy wanted some lights. The back is a little funny looking because the left side on the stock bumper is recessed for the license plate, but he’s happy

First I put these Austarhobby tires on El Diablo (Element Sendero HD) I've had the sitting around for a while, so I thought I should try 'em out.
