metal gear lube

Post by KV1s »

Hi Guys

Just got adventurous and split my H L KV1s apart to remove the smoker and found 2 lovely sets of metal gears

Being an ex 1/10 tc driver i know the importance of a smooth drivetrain etc and was wondering what to lube the gears with as they seem dry and rattly

Also what do you guys use as balance weights as my tank is extremely rear heavy and what balance should it have?
