or should i use shock RC oil?? Plz send a link if u find a better oil that the Abbey stuff.

thanks :)

You use grease on your gearbox because it's made to take higher temperatures, stress, and lots of moving parts where as lube is lighter and made for more "simplistic" things.

Now you can use lube in your gearbox but you'll be pretty much constantly lubing the thing up because as I said lube is lighter and wears away much quicker than heavy grease.

So in short, it's not advised. Everything has a purpose.

You can use auto grease on your gearbox BUT you ONLY want to use 90% or higher silicon oil on pretty much everything else.

can silicone grease be used inside the gearbox? i've heard it's not suited for metal to metal lubrication :/
also, can the silicone grease be used in GBB's?

It is highly advised to use grease in the gearbox as opposed to oil lube

Silicone grease CAN be used in GBB, but not on rubber parts/non-metal.
100% silicone oil is preferable for GBBs

kk ty i might just get them both while i'm at it :P

yeah.. I've never heard of an all-purpose grease either yet.

BTW, if you need a few pointers on what silicone oil lube to get for your GBB, seriously check out my guide in my sig. I have a whole section on it in the Basic Maintenance area. Just some basic do's/don'ts

kk thanks! :)

No problemo! :)

have you had any experience with abbey silly oil/grease or shock oil??

Best used sparingly. Should be 100% silicone and not WD-40
