Kyosho Stinger MK1 Which grease goes where?

Post by Squirrel40 »

This may be a goofy question but I haven't worked on any rc cars in 20 years. I am rebuilding a Kyosho Stinger MK1 and have no idea what kind of grease goes where. I looked at Tower and they have several different kinds. I would rather ask a goofy question rather than re rebuilding this car. Thanks for any help.

As long as your using bearings, the only place I would grease is inside the diffs. Any grease on the trans gears will get to the belt. The clutch bearing could use a little grease. Otherwise I would keep the car dry.

The manual does show grease points if you want to be accurate but I think they overdo it

As far as grease types, I like the associated black grease. Simple, cheap and available

Thanks for the help. Should the pins and the suspension arms be greased or just let dry?

Never imo! But I think the manual says to in some places
