James - that's a big help, thanks. I'll get some lubes, shock oil and a Lipo bag sorted as per your recommendation....
Do I need any grease? I assume it would be used for the diff / gears - but how often do people strip these down, de-grease and degrease given that they are sealed?
Sorry one more question too - I've read elsewhere that you shouldn't ever let Lipo cells discharge below 3V, as it causes irreversible damage to the cells. Would I need to fit an in-line Low Voltage Cutoff device, or does my ESC cater for this (Losi 22 RTR, has a Losi ESC fitted) ?
EDIT - just found the answer to this one on the Losi website - my ESC is listed as "PROGRAMMABLE, SENSORED ESC WITH LIPO CUTOFF' so I assume that will protect my Lipos.
