Default RE: center diff lock?

Wild doogie, no the lock blocks are very different. the Genesis is a 1 piece design and the nemesis is a 2 piece due to the e-clips that hold the drives into the spider gears.

The center diff of the Genesis is not really recommended, I know there will be few that has noticed my recommondations have changed abit. I have been keeping an eye on those that have used the kyosho 500,000wt diff fluid and I o see a benefit, so I have ordered some to test in my Genesis. The Genesis drivetrain just can't handle the lock block very well, I still have mine in but I too have had to replace more parts than in my Nemesis. Now my Nemesis is solid as a rock with the lock blocks in that. I have broke the right rear pins on the cvd but that was due to a worn drive cup, and I did break a ring gear in the front diff while doing some extreme stoppies while landing on concrete.

If you plan on doing monster truck pulling then you know how hard that can be on any drive train so you will be ok locking the drive train on your Genesis bu I strongly recommend upgrading your diffs to the Nemesis diffs. They are built beefier with the aluminum housing and cases, heavier outdrive cups and large outdrive bearings.

I would love to see how well you do pulling!!

Good luck
