Cheers, have dropped dave a mail, whats the best way of applying it out of the pot ? Cocktail stick with it on or an easier method :confused:

What kind of diff? Because I wouldn't put Tamiya ceramic grease on any part of a ball diff, although I might use it in a gear diff.

I use Much-More's range of greases (diff grease and thrust grease). There are lots of other decent greases out there, Asssociated's stealth lube and black grease are pretty much the same thing. Basically the main balls in a ball diff need a thick silicone grease, and the thrust assembly needs a black (molybdenum) grease.

For a sealed gear diff, use silicone oils. I have Fastrax in my pit box but again there are lots of alternatives. For an unsealed gear diff, you can either use ceramic or black grease for a fairly free action, or a much thicker grease like Mugen Super Grease or Tamiya AW Grease for a stiff action, although they tend to loosen up over time anyway.
