I recieved my boat, and built it all in the same day. It is an awesome boat however, after the first 2 or 3 runs, it started to throw grease from the drive shaft all over the inside. I removed everything and greased up the drive shaft again, but the shaft has 3 places where a great deal of wear has taken place. I was wondering if there was any type of grease that was better to use than the standard Kyosho Hobby grease. I also have another question about the best outdrive angle and what kind of metal prop I should run on it. If there is anyway to put a Trinity Picco .15 in it I would greatly appreciate any advice.
Thanks,
Mr. Blue Streak

Wear already huh? Damn!!

Assuming the driveline is all aligned and glued into place, there isn't much adjusting you can do. Just be sure nothing is out alignment, and as far as grease, I use John Deere Moly EP grease. Nothing breaks that stuff down. It's about $2.60 and you get a big pint sized can.
