Default new scale wally world type crawlers

i was out yesterday driving around when i went to the local rite-aid ,its kinda like longs if you dont know. when i saw these little rock crawlers. they are not the same as the wall mart crawlers though, they have 2 wheel high , and 4 wheel low. they are solid axled , but the axle isnt 4 or 2 linked , its hooked right up to its chassis.
it is 3 1/2 inches long, 2 3/4 wide (outside of tire to outside of tire), 3 inches tall and the have 1 1/2 or about 45 degrees of articulation and about 1/2 inch center clearance. it was like 7 dollars , they are quite fun to mess around with. the only pics i could find of them was this sucky pick(i dont have a camera) http://gamesandlottos.com/shop/items...ssortment.html
the only thing bad i notice about them is that after crawling for a while you could stop one axle with your fingers or when it needed to push or pull the truck up on a rock , when one axle has no grip for the tires and the other axle has more grip, the axle with more grip wouldnt turn the tires just like a stock tlt with the center unlocked diff. i took it apart and i found that the problem is that there is gears on the main drive line parts and they spin easily on the driveline shaft
it looks like this( o = axel, l = gear, and - = drive line) ol----ll----lo
thats not all the gears and stuff but all those gearsi showed are the ones that slip, you could fix it by sanding the shafts a little casue there cromed then glueing the gears on with like ca glue , i did it and it woulve worked exept i kinda messed mine up by trying to glue 2 gears together so it would be 4 wheel high instead of 2 wheel.
but yeah there cool so if you can find them id get one cause there actually scale crawlers unlike the wally world ones
