RDRP Ultra ball diff & thrust race greases

RDRP Ultra ball diff & thrust race greases

Revolution Design Racing Products introduce their new line of dedicated greases for the use with ball differentials and thrust races. The Ultra Ball Diff Grease was previously sold under the Vampire Racing brand and now makes a revival in Revolution Design’s chem series. Although gear differentials are a more common sight in today’s vehicles ball differentials are still a welcome tuning option when running in low to medium grip conditions. The grease is designed to perform in off-road buggies, touring cars and pan/formula cars. The white-colour ball diff grease comes in cups of 5g. Also new is the black thrust race grease. Containing finely ground graphite for improved load stability the lubricant is ideally used on the thrust races of ball differentials. Like the diff grease the thrust race lube comes in a handy cup containing 5g of grease.
