Dissassemble Your TT-01 Following the Reversal of Installation on Your TT-01 Manual

Open the Diff by undoing 3 Screws.

Inside You will find 3 Small Spinning Gears ( See Red Arrow)

Now Cram Blu-Tac, Playdough or Silly Putty into and Around the Planatary Gears till the Gears gaps in between the Gears are Covered. Dont worry if You Cover the Gears too much
Line up the Diff Cover and Re-assemble


DO NOT REMOVE THE GEARS!
They have to Remain Inside the Diff but they have to be Stopped Spinning and Cramming Blu-Tac, Playdough or Putty is the Safest way as If you dont like a Locked diff, All you have to do is Clean the Diff out of all the Putty and Re-assemble and Re-grease..

You Do this Mod at Your Own Risk.. No Damage or Responsibility will be Taken if you mess it up

hello
haha one thing you stole this idea fom my friend in another post

and um from all the rock crawlers ive made, you cant lock a diff with silly putty it breaks down and becomse not so silly and blue tac thats next to silly putty

if you ant to lock it right mix some epoxy or jb weld is better

Smoking, I am not sure what Your Smoking but this Method has been around in RC Drifting since the Dawn of time and It Does Work..

JB Welding is a Permanent Weld and With the Torque Loads Used in Crawling it Wont Work..

Blu Tac works on motor loads down to 15 Turn..

If You have noticed lately, ALOT OF PEOPLE ARE ASKING HOW TO DO IT!!



And as for Thread stealing, This Has been Placed on Nearly ALL RC drift Forums so please Check your info prior to Accusations..

Note : It is TT-01 Specific and TL-01 Specific

did you just say jb weld isent god for crawling hahahahahahahahahahahahhahahahahahahaha i have been rc crawling for 6 years now and i have had the same set of axles for all my life and have yet to have jb weld or epoxy stop locking my diffs

in other words. OWNED! to my man above

I meant Blu Tac wont Work in Crawling
JB Weld Works With Everything and Locks it Permanently.. Have fun unlocking it

hey smokin u by rc i think you need to settle down you dont need to swear.

nope my mapp gas torh melts that jb like salder and it all comes right out

haha i think you need to get on ur knees and take it up the tail pipe imo.!

calm down man. hes just giving us tips

yeah ur probably right but if people dont even know *** a diff is or even know how to lock it then tey dont need to be into rc cars and go to walmart and buy thos nikko drifters

smoking by rc..

Good luck with getting RC Drift help...

I am more then sure your 6 Years experience in Rock Crawling will assist you Greatly in the art of the Slide
I wish You all the Best and look forward to Seeing Vids of Your Drifting...

yea but if you use a torch on a TT-01 diff it will also melt all the plastic.

Damn fine 'how to' magnat

Kev

well you say its TT-01 specific but wont it generally owrk for any car that has a planetary gear diff? cuz my diffs look exatly the same except theres only 2 planetary gears and 2 screws...but same exact procedure

It should work on most planetary Diffs but not Ball Diffs. like the ones in the 4-Tec

It is just the Stock Tamiya Diffs that look similiar to the one in the Diagram..

We have tested Blu-Tac and it will lock the Diff down to 15 Turns, Below 15 Turns, Blu Tac just makes the Diff LSD..

This Should assist those Who want to experiment with a locked Diff but are not Sure they Want to keep it..

The Blu Tac does last if the Diff is packed nice and tight.

If you Dont like Having a Locked Diff the Removal process is Easy.

Remove the Blu Tac or Play Dough, Clean the Gears, re-Grease and Re-assemble.

Blu Tac Locking will work on Front and Rear Diffs But we Advise that locking the Front Diff Can Cause Under Steer Problems So lock the Rear only and Get that Tail Out and Keep it out !

Blu-Tac has been used to Lock Diffs in RC Cars For Years... I was not the one to Invent the Idea.. We Know it Works. It can be Used in 1:18th and 1:12 Scale Cars with Planatery Diffs.

hay magnat wouldent like epoxy or hot glue work better but yet thoe are both removable

thanks BIG Marc of team gc

too Expensive
RC Ghetto Drifting is all about RC Drifting for as little as possible with what ever is possible..

Most People have Blu-Tac or Playdough at home.
No need to buy anything if Yoou already have it

besides Blu Tac has Many RC uses..

You can get plastic pellets (on eBay) that melt in boiling water and then becomes pliable for a few minutes, push some of that in and it's removable afterwards for grip racing, then put it back in for drifting

All planetry diffs can be locked this way

Ball diffs are a different matter, I locked mine by removing the balls in the spur gear and tightening up the diff so it didn't slip - works too

Kev

ok thats cool, another question though. you say the blutac is rated until 15 turns and anyything below will become limited slip. but what about nitro? how mnay rpms (or any otehr way to measure it) would be needed to make the blutac stuffed diff go from solid to limited slip?

hey i have a TT01 Chasis and the body mount is too short for the body any1 know where i can get some longer ones? its like an L shape and at the end of the end is like a square

the body post are in this whole set http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin...?&I=LXETH8&P=Z

Locking the rear diff with blu tak works well, but does it cause any extra stress on the motor, drive shaft etc. Can it damage your rc car in any way??

Locking the Rear Diff has never Caused any harm to any of Our TT-01's or TB-02's.
As for Added Stress,,the only Added Stress in drift is on Steering and Bearings..
Since there is next to no grip/resistance on PVC or ABS Drive Train Components only suffer from High RPM.
Unlike Grip racing where Torque loads are applied through braking and cornering...
(Or smacking into a gutter or wall)


As For the Nitro, Its Not recommended to lock a Niitro's Diff.. Should the Diff Destroy its self with, then there can be BIG problems, not such a worry with an Electrc as a New Drift motor Doesnt cost that much..

Since Electric is the Only way to slide, We have never tested it with a Nitro Motor with a Blu-Tac locked Diff..
So Far Our TL-01, TT-01, TB-02's have not suffered any Damage from a Blu Tac Locked rear Diff.

I used hot glue to lock the rear diff. Works fine.
