Mike,
For our gearboxes with aluminum gears, the teflon infused ceramic coating greatly increases the wear resistance of the gears. That said, teams should probably apply a light coating of white lithium grease to ensure longevity. We know many of you will want to be able to use these items for many years, and this will help make that possible.
The VersaPlanetary gearboxes use high-strength hardened steel gears.
At this time, we are not planning to grease the gears before shipping.
