The graphite powder works really good and I've had good luck with plain old green slime too.

I tried packing the tranny once like lincpimp said not to do and it ruined my tranny. It was white lithium grease and I could barely turn the tranny by hand. Just a little light coating now and I haven't had to rebuild one yet.

Packing the tranny with grease will do 2 things.... Add rotational resistance (just like packing a diff with grease or silicon fluid) and add useless weight. (And quite a bit)

Graphite power should be just fine. I have also had good luck with the dry silicon lube they sell in bicycle shops for chain and gear lubrication. (goes on wet but drys quickly to leave a silicon deposit.) Prevents things from sticking in the lube and doesn't fly off in high rpm.


I can't decide if its more fun
to make it...
or break it...


Silent...But Deadly
