Grease for RC train axles

[Elevatorguy7]

Can anyone please recommend a good grease that won't damage the plastic. Some of my car squeak very loudly. Thanks.

Grease is not the thing to use as dust and dirt stick to it.  A couple of drops of light oil in the little "cup" on each wheel surrounding the end of the axle is all that is needed.  I use LGB oil designed for this purpose, but no doubt there are other oils other people use.  The LGB oil comes in a little dispenser unit.

I've used WD-40, just a little bit on a paper towel and touch to the area is all it takes. It's surprisingly small amounts to get the job done.

TRIX Artikel-Nr.: 66626, Spezial-Fett. I am using this for greasing the wheels. It is special made for modeltrains.

You might also consider a non-petroleum lubricant. Oil can adversely affect plastic over time. Silicone would be the way I would go.

Ich habe mit Silikonspray gute Erfahrungen gemacht. Aber nicht zu viel, sonst tropft's  . I used to apply silicone spray. But don't give it too much not to make it drip and dirty up your floor  .

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.

WD-40 is NOT a lubricant.

But it does make things run more smoothly.
