Can i use HPI HD Grease in my tranny?

[J1A1H]

Just about to rebuild my tranny with light weight gears and high speed idler... I know i don't need to put any lube in there but i thought it couldnt hurt to put a bit of the HPI heavy duty grease they supply free??? Is tha a good idea? or should i just corrosion X the gears and put them in there???

What do you use?

THANKS

Is this you flux? If so I run greese in my flux trans and love it. I recomend it.

The tranny is designed to be run dry but if you use a very light coat of grease it may not affect it much. I personally use a little wd-40 just to clean the inside out and give it a little lubrication.

The tranny's are designed to run dry, that way any of the worn material comes off as dust. Adding any sort of "sticky" lube will just hold contaminants in the gears and cause the pre-mature wear or failure.
