Gearboxes and stuff:

What do you need? Gear oil? Silicone? Monkey Grease?

I have various allen/hex, flat/phillips and other odd tools, but is there anything specific that is needed when cleaning, maintaining and repairing those pesky gear boxes?

one link away from total mayhem.

On the inside of the gearbox I like to use white lithium grease instead of silicone, but silicone is good to have also. Additional tools I keep are as follows, small needle nose, wire cutters/strippers, small punch, solder and iron, solder clip station, small micro file, blue loc-tite, swabs, and an of course spare parts and wire. This is on top of the standard allens and screw drivers.

I'm really good at de-soldering when I'm trying to connect things.
