Status: offline 		so i got my detta, brusless esc, ammo 3900, robinson steel pinion, 2cell lipo, steel cvds, mini inferno alloy wheel adapters, alloy front hinge brace, steel rear hinge brace(still gotta fet jaejw1's), titanium steering turns, ball bearing steering , servo/esc hold down, extra upper fr arms, alloy fr knucles, half 6 wheels, and some tires to try, a hitec rx and tx, and now i'm BROKE!!!!

I CURRENTLY HAVE STOCK DIFFS, and have listed my mini t pro here for more funds.

if all goes wrong, i'll have all this stuff installed, and plastig gear diffs. sooooo

could i jb weld the diffs, and lock them?? i know the aattitude of the car will be squirly, since two wheels will be breaking traction at all times, pretty much. but i really don't think i'd be able to wait, if my mini t pro doesnt sell, and i dont want to screw up anything on my detta.

whadd'ya think???

Status: offline 		I'd say shim up the stock gear diffs so the spider gears are not loose then run it till you break something. I'm still waiting for the day someone makes steel gears for the gear diffs. It will most likely never happen, but I can hope.

Status: online 		shimming only does so much ,,, but they will also heat up to the point of melting into the plastic case... i have tried this already... the ammo is a mild enough motor to let you have a few runs without breakage... just dont try anything crazy.. be smooth on the trigger and try not to land on power..

Status: offline 		could have taken that money you spend on the alloy front knuckles and bought you a rear ball diff, lol.

Jaejw, would you run gear diffs if there were some quality metal gears out there for it?

Status: online 		not sure.. the case would have to be sealed. and then you would have to find the right diff lube
