Episode Details

In many Tamiya's vintage and rere (re-release) radio-controlled model vehicles, open differential gears, there are 3 spider gears to help your wheels spin at different speeds when necessary, like when turning. Tamiya tells you to grease them with their standard Cera (Ceramic) Grease HG (High Grade). However, the R/C hobbyist community had found a better option, Tamiya's AW (Anti-Wear) Grease. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we walk you through exact how and why to pack your open diff spider gears with this thicker grease.
