Re: Too much grease?

What transmissions? With the ones included with the KOP chassis you'll have to really work at over greasing them. There is a lot of open space in them and the excess grease will be thrown out of the way. Now if you packed the cavity by using say 4 or 5 packets of the size that they give you per trans then yea you'll end up with drag and the transmission heating up. Use 1 full packet per gear box and you'll be fine.

Now if you are talking a Versaplantary then it would be easy to over grease.
