What type of grease do I use in the driveline of an Aeromarine scorpion with a 23cc zenoa mod?

I normally use a grease called MOLYCOTE on all my flex cables and I have found it to be suitable. I race a Peter Hammond Projectile42 with a Mac84 as well as a 1/8 scale hydro with a CMB67 greenhead and they are still running the flex cables that I put in when I built them 3 years ago. Another toy of mine is a 55inch Scarab powered by a Zenoah 260,and it is run in SALT water and its flex is O.K after 12 months.So the grease is MOLYCOTE,and if we can get it Downunder you guys will have no trouble... :cool:

If you can't find MOLYCOTE, you can use white lithium grease. I've used it in my Expresscraft Race V with a BH Hanson G23 Indy, and have no probems running in salt or fresh water. Just remember to re-apply often

There are plenty of greases that you can use, from the R/C boat brands like Prather and Hughey to the stuff that you can get from auto parts stores and boat dealers. Look for a high speed waterproof grease such as that is used in boat trailer bearings in a pinch.
On a new flex cable, soak it in ATF for a while before installing and flex it once in a while to help it soak in between the strands.

What type of gas do i use in my OPS 40 boat motor anyone? thanks

The Prather stuff always worked good for me but I'm not sure if you can even get it anymore I think they're out of business. I've been using standard marine bearing grease from Wal-Mart for a while now and it seems to "lube" about as good as the other stuff I've used. I also always take my cable out after running so it doesn't rust (as bad :rolleyes: ). I'm not a "pro" on the subject though, just what I've learned on my own. :)

Hopefully you're not using gas but nitro instead.
If you're running for fun then you could use 30-40% nitro but for racing you can go puwards of 65%.
Use a good fuel made for boats, no airplane or car/truck stuff as it doesn't have enough oil content. Heli fuel will do also. You want a good 18-20% oil content.
