graphite lube?

anyone tried lubing their gears and or axles?

i guess youd probably have to use graphite type stuff on the gears?

might be an easy way to get a car to run a little quieter/faster.

I actully use baby powder. It works great!
Reduces friction and repels moisture.

Read about it in a post here just can't remember which one.

Dry graphite powder. It comes in a little puffer tube for about a dollar. It's sold as a lock lubricant. You can get it at Wally world, or just about any auto parts shore.
