Molybdenum Grease

[BigSteve]

Hi all I've been looking for some molybdenum grease on ebay and noticed a company selling molybdenum disulphide grease for servicing air rifles. Is this the same type of molybdenum grease that comes with tamiya kits. It is £3 for 50g a lot cheaper than the tamiya version being sold on ebay.

Auto parts store is a better place to buy grease. You get a lot more than in a little tube. For gear boxes and moving parts I have been using Permatex Ultra-Slick part number 22063. It is actually a brake caliper parts grease that is 100% synthetic and will wick away moisture if it gets into places where it shouldn't be. Also it has a high operating temperature too!

a quick word on molybdenum grease , it makes some plastics weak by making it go soft and other plastics go brittle due to the oil based composition of the grease and the plastic being composed of oil too, use it on metal to metal only,thats why we use it only on the thrust race of ball diffs but silicon grease on the plastic ring gear, use clear silicon grease on plastic to plastic and plastic to metal , as said by oldschoolrunner get molybdenum grease from your local motor factors , you can get a 300g tub for about £6 .

Cheers for the info. I put molybdenum grease on most of the moving parts when I built my boomeramg .
