Yes, you could use regular automotive grease. You can also try Gorilla Snawt- It's really sticky so it stays on the gears, but also really slippery so it actually reduces friction a lot.

thanks for the info man

ok so i bought a new ring gear and it comes with the black little housing (sorry i dont know the correct term) it is where these go http://www.buytraxxas.com/product_in...oducts_id=2922 and im going to swith my gears out to the new "housing" and was wondering what i need to use to lube this area can i just use grease like i would use for the ring and pinion gear?? all info helps thanks...

That would be the diff cup. Generally you would put a silicone differential oil in there, there are different viscosities to give you different amounts of diff action, thicker oil will act more like a locked rear end. If you don't want to bother or don't want to wait you can put some grease in there to keep it lubed.

thanks for the info... what weight would grease be close too? and how close would it be to a locked diff?
