Default Best locker

What the best locker for a Wheely King? Does anybody have a plan to make aluminum lockers? I dont want to glue because it is permanent.

You can use the lockers for the AX10 and Maximizer make a nice one too. I'm running the Maximizer's and have had exellent luck with them so far

I've just fitted RCGUY diff lockers, fitted like a dream and doing the job well. Nice company to deal with to.

I work for a Hobby Town and we ordered mine through Tower's parent Great Planes. I liked the fact that they were one large machining instead of multiple pieces that fit the same way or using a locating pin like the Axial locker.

I'm Using maximizer lockers too. Honestly though I think anything that fits and locks it will work fine, you certainly aren't going to break one.. there are plenty of other parts that would break first... I just got maximizer because thats what my LHS had....

There are several guys who've broken the stock Axial lockers by twisting the inner axles in the locker, rounded out the holes where the axles fit in.

Maximizer is quality stuff.

After seeing how they go in, I was concerned about the cross pin not being strong enough, but I have heard that the Axial shafts don't seat that well in their lockers too.

Default Border

I wouldn't worry about it, they have to go through the "border" bs, so I doubt that the wait is anything to get excited about - they have excellent support - maybe fire them an email, and see if they have estimated times to go from here to there..

I'm in Canada so it was just going from one side to the other, so it was rather quick..
