SX2 steel idler grease?
 
Hey peeps,
Ive just bought the steel idler gear upgrade for my cat (from a ver nice oOpler :thumbsup:) but am slightly concerned that the new steel gears are going to run with more friction (and thus heat) than is good.

Is this a legitimate concern, and if so, should I lube them with something?

I use the Nuclear-RC greases and was wondering if they might be good for this?

Thanks!

even the plastic ones should be run with a small amount of grease,your concerns are how ever unfounded no heat, just noise and excessive wear if you don't run some kinda lube,

Cheers BR - though Ive been running the plastics for a long while and never had a bother with them dry.

Anyways, will grease the steels now as you advise.
Would the silicone or the black Diff grease work best?

the black stuff will do, i use some moly grease,
