Vintage, classic, and rere (re-release) radio controlled buggies like the Grasshopper, Hornet, Grasshopper II, Super Hornet, Rising Fighter, etc. have a pivot point at the back of the bottom of the chassis that seems to be a friction magnet that could be improved with grease. But if this theory is correct, which R/C Grease should be used? AW (Anti-Wear), Cera Grease HG (High Grade), or something else? We take a deep dive into this pivot point and greases usage in this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast.
