Just managed to score a REVO.
WOW.
I noticed the rear suspension ws sloppy and thought I'd have to buy new pivot balls,or uprights,but all I need to do is tighten them! HA!

Here's where I need some help-do I use any lube on the pivot balls?
If so,what?

personally I don't know for fact but I wouldn't use lube on a pivot ball of any kind just for the fact it would collect dirt and hold it instead of it 'grinding' it thru. I'm sure someone can can clear it up though but thru any my ofnas or tc3s I've never seen any lube in any of those manuals. hope this helps.

I forgot to mention that they're sealed by rubber bungs and rubber boots,so they're well protected from dust and dirt.

yeah, not real familiar with any traxxas newer than the nitrohawk era...

Don't use lube on the pillow balls. Keep them dry with a tiny bit of play, just so they don't bind.

I have 2 Revos and a T-Maxx....I lube 'em all....
Dry Graphite spray works well....especially on the Revo's, due to the seals keeping the lube in and dirt out.

Yup,I lubed 'em up with a little Stealth Diff Lube.
That REVO had a shattered front bulkhead,a snapped steering mount stay and a snapped steering bumpstop arm,but you couldn't tell by driving it!
It's all back to good,now.
It rocks!
