Grease/lubricants

My remote is starting to get sticky gimbals, what's everyone's suggestions? And also I am going to be looking to maintain my arm lift grease what should I use for that?

You can use silicone dielectric grase (usually withe) to avoid short circuits inside the remote.

This is the grease you want for the Arm Lift worm gear. Amazon.com: Tri-Flow TF23004 Clear Synthetic Grease - 3 oz. Tube: Automotive

There is enough in that tube for the whole inspire group

Might as well mod the remote if you take it apart .

Are you absolutely sure it's 'sticky gimbals' and not the sticks them selves that need backing off via length adjustment so they are fouling internally on the gimbal assembly?

I'm not sure how do I tell and fix that?

Undo the top locking hub of the sticks then unscrew the gimbal sticks slightly (which makes them longer). Then retighten the locking hubs.
Sometimes if the sticks are screwed down to short they protrude into the gimbal(s) and foul the internals which makes them stick.

Thank you! It worked perfectly! No more "stick"!
