    grease and my triton

    Just about finished my toysport triton build. 9xl is in, have my 5000mah 5s lipo, esc in, reciever in, x642 sharpened and polished. Great went to grease strut which has grease nipple and the nipple is to small for my standard grease gun. It goes every where except in the strut. Is there ends for my grease gun that will fit ? or will the grim racer grease applicator fit?

    Which nipple are you referring to? The one on the toysport strut? If so, attach a 4-5" long piece of tubing to it. Before a run, file it with a oil. It will get used during the run.

      Thanks Steve thats avery good idea. Any reconmendation on oil. Also you said that the fex in the triton is different and should use original. Is it possible to use any .187 flexi and shaft or are the toysport prop shafts whats an odd size ?

        I have some flex cables coming in for them. They are a bit different than the rest out there.

        I use any light weight oil. It may sound funny but I use the Corrosion X. I stated using it one time when I ran out of the regular stuff and never went back.

              It seems like the same product with a greater viscosity. I have never used it on a drive, never entered my mind. I'll try out this weekend.
