HPI Z164 Grease

[WJC]

OK guys not the biggest deal in the world but is there any place, like an auto parts store that I can just buy a larger tube of this stuff? Hate spending like $2.50 a tube for the stuff when I can get 50 X's more for about the same price. I didn't know what the specs on the grease were. Didn't want to buy the worng stuff. It's got to be just bearing grease or am I wrong?

I'm not sure what your using it on other than on the diffs but you can use regular grease from a grease gun or bearing grease or anything along those lines. This way is much cheaper.

Sorry I should have mentioned my application. I'm using the grease for my ring and pinion gears.

So what do I ask for at the auto parts store? The blue green synthetic stuff:retarded: LoL. I guess I could ask without sounding retarded. :Xfingers:

I use slick50 marine grease that comes in a grease gun tube(for boats)

Cool! I'll go see what I can find. I'm sure that I will never use up a tube like that in a life time. But I'll never have to buy another tube ever again. 🙂

I guess everyone has their own opinion in which grease to use. Any grease is good. I have heard they make a coating to go on the gears, some buggies guys use this stuff. I think I saw it in R/C Driver mag or something like that.
