e-Lite Machines Corona > Gear mesh question

It looks like I may be taking my Corona outside today or tommorow for the first time ( still have to figure out settings on the RD8000) Thanks to the help from the people on this forum, I was able to obtain and assemble all the seperates and build the heli I wanted. I had one time consuming set-back that was my own fault, but want to avoid near future mistakes. What I'd like to know is which lubricant is best suited for the large main gear at the bottom of the shaft that mesh's with the motor pinion gear? Also, the same for the crown gear that mesh's with the tail rotor pinion gear? I'm thinking the thick "Lite lube" around the whole gear, but possibly the thick liquid oil. I didn't see any mention of these in the instructions. Thanks, Steve.

Don't use any lubricant on the gears. It will just pick up dirt and accelerate the wear.

Ok, thanks Lance. It just seems that the heli was louder than I expected. Not really the gears necessarily, but just in general. Thanks again, Steve.

Great! Now I have to wipe all the grease off my gear teeth...

I was never sure about this, so fortunately I only put a lite layer on. Amazing how you can hear the difference if a piece of crude gets stuck in the teeth.

Mozzer, you'll be amazed how much quieter the Corona is when outside!
