I have a couple different compounds I can try. I know the grease will wear out over time. I was wondering does the grease warm up/thin out after running a few batteries? As some one mentioned either here or another forum, a easy way to get the grease out of the tube is to warm it up first. The same thing can happen inside the diff. As the diffs works the grease warms up thinning out the grease. So when you first start driving the diff is nice and locked up, after running a little while things thin out and the advantages begin to disappear. My friend, if you know that grease wears out (badly) with the tearing action of the gears and thins out with heat (a bit - remember we're talking silicon grease here) then why ask??? in terms of thinning out "after a few batteries", given that a 3200 lipo lasts 20mns with a 9T delta brushless, and that typical running temperatures for this toy are sub-zero, I usually only run one batt at a time befor I feel the urge to go back inside... But I would think that it doesnt take "a few batteries" for that grease to heat up - I would think that after 30s of turning action it should be pretty dang warm inside, but then again I never felt the need to dissassemble the diffs in the snow right in the middle of a pack.
