bearing rust and grease

[kaszal]

Hello, I've been checking my bearings after a rainy 1/10 off-road meeting. Can anyone recommend a good bearing grease that will help keep out dirt? It's mainly for the axle bearings, which are ceramic with rubber seals. I already have some ZX1 lube but I think it's too thin for wet/dirty conditions.

I was also wondering, is it unusual to have a little surface rust on the bearings the next day?

Thanks

I use this stuff. its not designed for rc bearings but it does wheel bearings in bikes really well so i tried it. i just pop the seals out and put a small amount inside. i also pack it between the two wheel bearings in the hub carriers. keeps water out really well :thumbsup:

Thanks! I found some on eBay. Are these similar? Is there anything I shouldn't use to pack bearings with? (e.g. like no black grease on diff plates)
