This year we are using WCP SS gearboxes, And we are seeing alot of gear wear. We were trying to use the Dry Grease recommended by WCP and some of the people on here, but it really does not seem to be working. Yesterday at Portland we cleaned out all the metal shavings, and about 2 matches later the gearboxes were covered in them again. I have heard that the gears are supposed to feel slightly sticky after applying, but ours do not seem to be doing that. What is the correct method for applying grease to the gears? We are going to be replacing all of them except for the steel CIM gears at worlds, so if they require time to settle we will be able to do that.
This is the exact stuff we are using, but out of the aerosol can.
