anyone know how to lock diffs. new to 1/10th scale racing. only mini's in the past. after all, only 15

HELP!!!

To Easy

Using your Instruction manual
Disassemble the Rear of the Car till you get to the Actual Diff

Using Blu-tac or Playdough (Blu Tac is Preffered) Open up the Diff by removing the 3 Screws, You should see Planetary Gears (3 little Gears) Cram the Diff Completly full of Blu Tac Around these Gears Till the Diff Housing is Full... Then re assemble the Diff..

The Blu Tac will allow the Diff to Function as normal but now it is Locked.. Both Wheels will spin instead of Just one..

* Make sure You re-lubricate with Ceramic Grease once you have Reassembled the Diff and Put it Back into its Housing..

If you need any further help.. Just let me know..

I have a TT-01 and I have only locked the Rear and It made a Huge Improvement over stock..
I dont Advise Locking the Front Diff as it can Lead to Massive under steer which is not good for technical tracks


At this Point I have to ask , Have you also replaced the Plastic Prop Shaft with an Alloy one and Replaced all the Bearings??
This Mods will Make a HUGE difference over the Plastic and Brass Wheel Bearings that the Stock TT-01 has and the Alloy Prop shaft will have less flex allowing you to Transfer the Power Between the Diffs more efficiently...

are there any other subistitutes to playdo and blue tac?

ok ok i get it, search before asking questions! i just used paper towels and holy crap what a difference...not even usin any pvc abs electrical tape or anythin, 100% difference.

yea, of course i have replaced all the bearings to the ball raced. also, i have changed the shaft. those were things my friend told me i had to have. he has a tt01 too. but the bearings are a must. for all my mini's i've got bearings in them too. Thanks a lot. i did what you said and all i can say is wow!!i'm trying to set this car up for only drifting. very fun
thanks again. HUGE help.

Look on ebay and find a locked diff. I think they run like 30 bucks shipped or so.

so do u just flood the whole diff with blu tape, or do u just do it ligtly over the 3 metal things(like a thinlayer over it) and do u just do it underneath the three metal things or the bottem of the plastic case.

Luv my rims:P

What's with the thread jacking?

Open the Diff and Cram Blu -tac or Playdough in and Around the Planetary Gears and Proceed to Fill the Diff up.. then Re-assemble..

Cheap Jada toys rims, that is.

To lock it, just use Super Glue. Worked for me when I had a TT-01. I'd also lock the rear. More realistic when drifting. (since all the power/control is in the back.

I locked the diffs but the front wheels go forward and back ones go back. I locked the back ones, probable improperly. Any ideas on fix ?
