Okay from what I have been reading I need to lock the rear differential. I plan on just using playdoh and jamming it in there. But if I wanted to remove it in the future for unlocked how do I do it?

Also I have an alloy shaft and ball bearings on the way.

Do I need to have threaded shocks as well?Or are the friction dampers okay for now?

Thanks!

Pull the play dough back out, clean the gears and use a bit of Tamiya Ceramic Grease and re- assemble..

Well saw this forum on an easier and cleaner way to lock the rear.

One user is saying put one of the MA13s between the other two so when they move it will lock the rear differential. Seems to be a much more easier and cleaner way of doing this.

Any potential harm in the future?

Using the MA13 to lock the Diff is a great idea. I bought a TT01D kit a few weeks ago and picked up a Yeah Racing #TT-069BU Aluminum Solid Axle that replaces the internal gear set.  I would probably use three  MA13's to keep the Rotating Diff balanced. Could have saved $10.00 if I knew this info before.

Wow...I would imagine the TT-01D would have the rear diffs locked already.

What is the difference between the TT-01E and D besides a heat sink/sport tuned motor/drift tires?
