The RC Deep Dive

About The RC Deep Dive

Welcome to The RC Deep Dive podcast, your daily masterclass in the world of Tamiya radio-controlled model vehicles in under 30 minutes. This is the ultimate anti-fluff resource for Tamiya RC builders, bashers, crawlers, collectors, drifters, racers, and speed runners. We publish a new, concise episode every day, focusing on the vintage, classic, and rere (re-release) models that have defined the radio control hobby. We go beyond the RC hobby workbench. One day we're detailing HOW-TO guides for hop-ups, CVA dampers, or MIP super ball diffs, and the next, we explore the applied physics and chemistry of why they work. We also uncover the lost RC cultural history of the Golden Age—from the Tamiya-Futaba alliance to the transfer of CRP's business assets to a new entity, Team CRP, or Parma PSE (Parma Speed Experts) International being bought by Mid-America Products. This is your daily dose of R/C knowledge. No fluff, just the deep dive. We are all about that RC life! Got a Tamiya question you can't solve? Ask it in the reviews or comments. It might become a future 5-15 minute deep dive. Subscribe now so you don't miss tomorrow's deep dive. It's the perfect anti-fluff way to start your day at the RC hobby workbench.

To deliver a crystal-clear, professional-sounding, anti-fluff episode every single day, we use modern AI-assisted production tools for maximum listenability.

   Why You Must Pack Your Open Diff Spider Gears With Tamiya AW Grease

   In many Tamiya's vintage and rere (re-release) radio-controlled model vehicles, open differential gears, there are 3 spider gears to help your wheels spin at different speeds when necessary, like when turning. Tamiya tells you to grease them with their standard Cera (Ceramic) Grease HG (High Grade). However, the R/C hobbyist community had found a better option, Tamiya's AW (Anti-Wear) Grease. In this episode of the RC Deep Dive podcast we walk you through exact how and why to pack your open diff spider gears with this thicker grease.
