It's water soluble so probably not very good for prop tubes!

Contact jotika they sell prop shaft grease. It was made by Robbe but now sold by them or contact the model shop Leeds they stock it. Used it many times with no problems found.

Steve’s model bits sell propshaft grease.


I have also used lithium grease. It’s available in a spray like WD40
And is used as a lubricant in bikes for chains and gears. It’s also water repelling.
I use this if I can’t get in to properly grease a shaft

Best stuff I've used so far is tf2 ultimate. Stays put approaching 40k rpm...

I've used white lithium grease in standard propshafts with brushed motors. NEVER had a leak. would go with Andyn 'recommendation for higher prop speeds
