Noisy Diff.. What Grease do you use for diff spur gears?

[wfoster34]

Im trying to find a good "grease/ Lubrication" for my Pinion diff gears ( the big ones inside the diff case ) , what are you guys using or any suggestions?

[S14juggalo]

Are you talking about the diff gears or the ring and pinion gears?

Diff gears in mine are drowned in losi silicone diff oil 5k in front, 7k middle, 3k rear.

Ring and pinion is floating in losi high pressure black grease.

I get comments on how quite my scte is all the time buy then again I'm running a sc4x motor. Hope this helps.

yes.. the ring and pinion gear is what im refering to.. I was told to use high temp auto bearing grease. which i think will work, i had not used the losi high pressure stuff because i wasnt sure it would hold up... you say floating, how much do you use? because eveything i try is flung off to the inside of the case and the gears end up dry and noisy? maybe im not using enough

i use the mobil 1 grease. works good so far, lubs and keeps my gear drive quite.

Go to a bike shop and get some Pedros, Park, grease.

Sorry floating was probably not the right word to use. I usually put enough grease to cover both gears to where you can't see metal anymore. An awesome grease to use if you can find it in a tub or tube is white lithium grease the best grease in my opinion stays thick can handle high temps and makes gears silky smooth and dont be shy when applying it to the ring and pinion good sir.

That g3 grease looks promising what's it cost a tube?

This is why lubing these gears with anything besides the amount thats in there from the factory is pointless. Nothing will stay on those gears at the speeds they reach. And filling the whole case ads WAY to much drag.

Its 4-wheel drive and therefore should be louder than a 2wd. At least its quieter than a pos Hyper

A really stupid question but if you are using 5k oil then you dont need grease correct??

Correct,diff oil goes inside the diff and grease goes on the ring/pinion gears

I use one of these.
