Update: So I've been driving my SCX10 in the water/mud a lot recently...
And I think that it is time to take it apart and re-build it. So I've seen that people like to use marine grease inside the axles and tranny to prevent metal parts from rusting. Unfortunately, I couldn't find marine grease locally. Instead, I've picked up a Castrol multi-purpose chassis grease. I read through the label from the back, sounds similar to the purpose of the marine grease. So I decided to give it a try.
I've took the entire tranny and axles apart for clean up and re-lube with the Castrol grease.
Here are some before and after compression pics.
When I took the front axle apart, it was a lot worst than what the rear axle looks like.
Rusty bearings.
So I took some sandpapers and cleaned up the rust as much as I can.
The bearings are looking like new again.
Also rebuild the motor.
After all the cleaning, it's like a new SCX10 again.
