Default Lockers?

Has anyone put lockers on there front and rear differentials? I was wanting to make my LST AWD? What do you guys think?

Unless you've got strong driveshafts it would be a bad idea because it will cause the freakin shafts to break. I locked my differential and it snaps my dogbones right and left. Locked differentials also decrease traction and cause you to loose control all the time. JMO but it might be a bad idea

Dont do it. The only situation that u would need locked diffs is when you're crawling, and nitros arent crawlers.

If you DO end up locking the diff, dont jump the truck or land the truck while on power.
