locker in the back

[rodshemi]

hey guys i was thinking about locking the rear diff should i get a spool or jb weld it or hot glue. tell me what you think i want to be able to do cyclones without the one tire fire in the back. what do you think

I would go with a spool. JB Weld and Glueing just don't seem kosher lol..

What happened to the silly putty zud?

 

[zud00]

I'm still running silly putty in the rear diff. It is working out nicely. I haven't noticed any decrease in turning radius. I just saw that locker and thought i'd share it.

What are the benifits of the locked rear diff?? Easy donuts???..lol..

 

[stang_racer]

better of the line launches

 

[RLM]

How much better can launching get if the front wheels don't stay on the ground as it is???...lol...

 

[stang_racer]

well the same amount of power is going to both wheels soo its more even its more for rock crawling really so that if one tire is in the air the other will keep turning

 

[RLM]

Does it affect turning radius??? Or increase the chance of driveline parts breaking?? I think it would?? Hmm

 

[justinsavage]

The turning radius increases when you put a locker in the rear. It is sure fun to drive with the rear diff locked. jb weld works only if you fill the whole diff with it.

Yes a locker is hard on the rear drive shafts. I had one in my e-maxx and the rear shafts twisted, although these were plastic slider shafts.

i took mine and welded the four gear together.works perfect so far i have had no other problems yet

 

[RLM]

Ya I don't think plastic shafts would hold up well with a locker!!!.lol.
