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.

Yes I know grease warms up and thins out. That is not my question.

The original question is after the grease warms up in the diff do the advantages disappear? If so using a heavier oil could be better.
