Gorilla Snawt Review
 
1 Attachment(s)
This is an RC specialty grease with a gross name! It was designed specifically for the E-Maxx tranny and RC diff ring and pinions. It has Teflon, is waterproof and stays in place even at 30,000 rpms. I use it in my BL Maxx tranny and on my Savage diffs and it works better than anything I have tried. It stays in place and does not get flung off even after multiple runs. I can crack the case after a run and the gears are still slick. It works better than Associated black grease and all the auto parts store lithium and moly greases I have tried. The guy only sells it on eBay, but for about 5 or 6 bucks a tube including shipping, it is well worth it.

Ive been looking at this thing for quite some time. But didn't manage to get more info or review about it. It seems to be so "tacky", wouldn't this cause some drag in the gears? Im really interested to try but not sure. Anyone else use this?

i just watched a review on this in rc car action youtube channel. think i may get some now since i am hearing more and more good things about it.

I recently swapped to the Honda Moly 60 and it seems great - Pain to get off hands though!

I run snawt in my trannies, and I love it!

Palmolive will help with cleaning greases off of your hands.

i have used the snawt in 2 v-twin builds...i can't say enough good things about it...

i normally run my trucks back and forth on asphalt....so, transmission noise is very obvious and loud.....when i switched to snawt, the noise was almost gone...

the best thing about it is that it wont fling off the gears like a lithium or molybdenum based product will do....that's the key...as far as any "frictional" drag, i haven't noticed any..

i intend to rebuild my e-revo with the new KD CHASSIS, and will redo the tranny with snawt then

I've been checking this out for a while now and test it, but I can seem to find an online shop except for the ebay store. The problem is that the shipping cost more than the product itself.

I've got to get me some of this stuff.

George16 07.07.2008 12:17 AM

I had been using it on all my trucks and I'm very satisfied with the results.

TruckBasher 07.07.2008 12:37 AM

OT: Buy any chance you have links (except ebay ones) where to get this...

I just recently purchased a tube of the snawt...and used it in my erevo tranny, and it made it alot quieter and smoother as well..... was worth the price...but kinda stinky.....lol

danhfvcsd 09.02.2008 03:44 AM

Just ordered a tub then... how would it go in diffs?

sjcrss 09.02.2008 07:20 PM

Im not to sure about the diffs....you could use it on the ring gear and pinion gear, and fill the inside of the diffs with the diff fluid of your choice....I havn't yet messed with the diffs in mine..... I'm leaving them alone for the time being....till they need replaced or need something to do in the winter...

:great: I'm with you. Great stuff. I bought 1 tube and loved it, then bought a few more. A couple in the pit box and a couple for the bench. I use it to lube anything that needs lube and is sealed from dirt.

A+ stuff IMO.

danhfvcsd 09.03.2008 03:01 AM

thanks sjcrss - i actually emailed em about usage in diffs (why it escaped me earlier i have no idea), and this was their reply for anyone interested =)




**********
Dear danhfvcsd,

If you have a gear set diff like a rock crawler, it is perfect. If it is a spider set type diff, then it is not "fluid" enough. It is equivalent to a 100W oil for viscosity, but it is not fluidic like an oil or standard diff lube to always "flow" around the spider gears.

oh - and my tub was already in the post before i woke up this morning, after ordering it last night as i was posting my previous post in this thread - I got a tracking number and all, which i didn't expect too, sweet! =)
