What should I use to lube the various moving parts of my helicopter?

I have a stock belt cp.

In particular the moving parts on the tail. The tail response is sluggish and also binds a bit. I've seen people say to use Vaseline, but that seems like it'd be too viscous. What about graphite, 3-in-one oil, wd-40, silicone spray? Will any of those damage the plastic?

I've heard that graphite is the safest, but I've never used anything at all.

Better wait for some other responses to be sure.

i use tri flow for one way bearing and shafts
and spray silicon for the belt every once in a while
and white lithium grease for the thrust bearings on the grips
