What is the Best Grease for Open Differential Gears?
About this episode
This episode explores the best modern lubricants for open differential gears in vintage and re-released Tamiya model vehicles.
Many vintage and rere (re-release) Tamiya radio-controlled model vehicles have an open diff (differential) gear assembly. While Tamiya historically suggested their stock Ceramic Grease for this part, is there something better for lubricating an open diff in the modern age of lubricants? In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we look at the world of greases and lubes and discover the best modern option for you.
