You might want to try the oil the radio control car people use on
the wheels of their cars.....Just a thought :)

Thanks, Jimbo - that might be a bit of a cheaper alternative :)

My God!

That stuff is expencive - 10 euros for some oil (temp out of stock)

and 40 euros for the maintenance kit! :o :o I can't afford that! :'(

But I suppose if it is good as you say, Glooby but perhaps it is something to save up for 8-)

When I rebuild an engine I use "Super Lube Teflon Grease" on the drive gears, it never dries out or hardens and engines I've rebuilt 5 years ago are still running fine.  I use it on the wheel trucks as well, but VERY sparingly, just a very small amount works and it does not attact dirt.  You can find a 3 oz tube for about $5 and it will last a long time.  Radio shack used to sell something similar, but now all they seem to sell are phones.
