I locked both of the diffs on my TT-01, I just like the way it drifts that way. I used a hot glue gun to lock them both so if I ever want to open them again it's easy.

I just lift it up a little with a flathead screw driver and then get the rest out with my hand, it's easy to pull off.

Rear only on My TT-01, Not at all on my HBX and Neither on my Sprint 2 and have stock Ball Diffs on my Cyclone S...Its all in your Technique that will decide if you need to lock it or not...

On a TT-01 I definately needed the Rear locked seemed to cure the steering Bias a little bit but my Sprint 2 does nice, Tight and Technical easily enough and nice Sweepers with a run up...

ORIGINAL: brendonv

i thought hot glue would turn into mush after a hour.
hm, well considering I've been running mine that was since the middle of 2007 I guess not

EDIT : I hadn't thought about it until now, but this may be a problem with high powered motors. I however run the stock TT-01R motor which is a 25 turn GT tuned motor from Tamiya.
