Default Locking TT01 diff

here is another way to fully lock the diff. and u can remove it to make it normal when needed. there are 3 spider gears. what u do is put the gear between the other 2 for a locked diff. hope the pics help. i learned this trick building my TLT rock crawler! i dont know if this has been posted or not but here u go anyways. thanks

does this trick allow any play, or is it just like using JBweld, wouldnt this put more stress on the drive train then say using playdo or something

i use blue tack or putty, in one of my tt-01's i even put eleastic bands in the diffs, gave it play but the more i drifted the tighter it was and helped maintaine the longer slides!!...

the drivetrain will handle it. if my TLT rock crawler can survive with this setup then it will for the TT01. thanks

yeah, but crawlers are slow, and were going faster than that.

there is more stress on the drivetrain climing over rocks than drifting. and ur spinning the tires most of the time anyways. thanks

Sticking to blu-tac... its easier and proven method in drifting..

Blu tac allows movement Essentially turning the diff into a limited slip which is desired any way..
