The extra guide that comes in the box with every RevoSlot is the routed track guide. You don’t have to use it but I would not want to run without it.
The gear mesh is partly responsible for the noise. The car will quiet down with some additional running. The other thing that makes it noisy is the aluminum chassis parts resonating inside the plastic body. The chassis movement is very loud. Some noise can come from a loose lexan interior tray inside the body. That is the idea behind using some Shoegoo to make sure its not moving around making noise and potentially falling down on top of your tires.
I don’t know of any special grease to run on the bearings other than the same things we have been using. I have a RC tool that can be used on 3mm open face bearings to flush them out but these are sealed and I don’t know about any specific lubes. Thoughts anyone?
You can use canopy glue if you would like in place of the Shoegoo.
