Locking front Differential
 
How bad does it effect the steering? Is it best to do it? Any help would be greatly appreciated"thumbsup"

Steering still works fine just not quite as tight of a turning radius..unless you gas it !!

Ok so isnt best to use silly putty or get the front locker from rpp? Or is there any one better than the other?

I used silly putty . It works well but it is almost completely locked so I would recommend using a locker . The axial front locker for the Yeti works with the factory geometryhttp://tapatalk.imageshack.com/v2/14...644feef590.jpg

I 'm using the Axial Yeti one with overdrive gears and have not seen much difference in turning radius. I can definitely crawl better.

Do we have to fill the differential with oil once we instal the locker?

no. the locker replaces the spider gears and diff case & fluid with a solid chunk of metal. just need some grease on the ring and pinion gears.
