I believe if you set your mission goal to eliminate frictional heat and the ability to get rid of the heat that is generated. You will see alot of improvement in the longevity of your gear setup.
I have a Revo that I plan to convert to Electric, but since I'm still rounding up my parts, I haven't taken anything apart yet.
Here's a thought that I had concerning disappating internal tranny heat. Is there a way to install an aluminum or copper plate to act as a heat sink?
If there is, with a wet lube setup, the oil splattering around in there will carry the heat to the plate, then the plate will pass it to the outside where a fan or fins could be used to pass air. An "oil cooler".
I know your passing alot of power through that hot setup you have. I've been admiring your work for a long time. Let me know your thoughts.

Wet lubricant sounds good, but I am really not sure if it would work with this. What kind of oil are you thinking? I wonder if shock oil would work. But, the resistance might be alot when you put so many rpm's through the tranny, it might draw excess current. Perhaps.
Might I add, this happened 3 weeks ago now, I have had my gmaxx single speed installed in it now, which is moe durable.
