ANy of you rock competition guys ever put grease on the bottom of your diffs?

I know, sounds weird, but hey, it might gain you a few seconds huh?

Green types could use Crisco:p

Actually, bad idea. How would you like to see pics from a competition on Eco site, pointing out the grease marks on the rocks? Our sport is under a microscope, contaminate control is a top priority during any event. Staining rocks with axle grease would be very difficult to remove, especially in porous rock such as Moon Rocks.

Traction must suck on Moon Rock, I mean with such little gravity:D

I'm gonna have to go on record as saying that deliberately adding grease or oil to the rocks or any part of the environment IS THE STUPIDEST FAWKING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN YOU POST ON THE BB!

Not to mention that it would be completely ineffective.

Just testing.....

I could have been an EPA undercover agent. Fortunately, you all passed.

I like the teflon idea. You can buy it in sheels and figure out how to fix it to the diff. Alot of river boats use this so they can slide over stuff without riping the hull to shit. :flipoff2:
