Ok so since I've picked my 808E I've ordered some 3k, 5k, and 7K diff oil, and some blue screw locker compound. What else will I need to have around for general maintenance of my buggy? |

What is the difference in the 3 Hudy Bearing greases? I also see they have a bearing oil. I plan on switching to Avid bearings. What would be the best for me to use? |

The premium is best. But that small container won't last long. I think those little greases are more often used onroad. I'll let folks that use those chime in. I just use Mobile1 pink synthetic grease or redish pink Lucas syth with antisieze. I diassemble and relube my CVD's, and wheel bearings every 3-4 weekends/races. Gritty bearings get replaced with Avids. Seal my radio boxes with a dab of grease. I keep a 1" x3" bottle of grease in my pit box. It deosn't last long. |

electric is alot cleaner then nitro, that being said, I liek the sound. I change my shock oils after each weekend of racing, keep spare wheel and clutch bearings to change for the mains (god willing i make them, lol) change my diff fluid after two club races, or a long points series race. cleans the cvd's as often as I can, helps them last longer. I use mobil 1 synth grease for everything: bearings, cvd's and ring & pinion gears. Just a suggestion, get the hudy dog bone tool, and change the dogbone pins out when they start wear, will save you alot of money on new dogbones and will help the cvd's last longer, driveline doesn't slap around as much. I run ceramic bearings in my buggy and truggy, so I want them to last as long as possible, alot of work in keeping them in tip top shape, but does it roll nicely. |

How many shock and diff refills can you get out of a typical 2oz bottle? |
