This forum is so funny man - but still informative.

 

Why should synergy gears not be lubed? Matt Botos' gears had this white coloured grease on it.

 

i use a fully synthetic grease made by Inox its awesome stuff, apply a little with a tooth brush and it works a treat! you can even eat it @simon

 

but... could you use a carbon based grease?

 

Min, delrin doesn't need greasing as they are self living. Are you referring to main gear and pinion

yeah, all the teeth had this grease that could be scraped off and was white in colour

 

That would be one way bearing grease

 

I'm trying out this Dryfluid gear lube, at the moment, after Bert Kammerer recommended it. Seems pretty good:

They also have this metal lube (dryfluid Heli), that I'm also trying on main and tail shafts:

Here's the Dryfluid heli trailer:

 

@5Fidy is ordering now... they used a logo in the ad...

 

LOL... to true... the dryfluid looks awesome, the piroflips were much smoother! But really I wonder what chemicals make up that lubricant, weather it be silicon or carbon based.

 

Gotta say that logo did look pretty shmexy

 

That's interesting Jeff as the TDR uses delrin gears and Jan says you MUST grease them..
I noticed a great reduction in gear "whine" when I greased my old TDR gear train.

I use a tiny bit of this --> http://www.rcbits.com.au/content/tri-flow-clear-synthetic-grease-small

put a small dab about every cm on the main gear and then spin the gear by hand - it will slowly spread to pinion and evenly around the whole gear.

The stuff is sticky and thick, which is what you need so it doesn't all "fling" off in flight.. but you only use it "sparingly" otherwise excess just goes to waste and makes
a mess of your heli - lol
