X Factor lockers are going to run between $30.00 and $35.00

They are a complex item that consists of 3 parts instead of the usual 1 part that all the other trucks use.. We will keep the price as low as we can though.

We are part way there to having a locker.
Since we will be including 2 - 10x16 bearings the price we are looking at now is $34.95. 2 piece locker with bearings.

Locker should be available by mid to end of January.

Why can't it just use the stock x-factor bearings? If it used the stock bearings you could keep the cost of it down and possibly be able to sell more.

I ask this b/c I may be interested in these when they come out.


Also, what will they be made from? I think they need to be VERY hard b/c the set screws on the couplers will want to round out the shafts over time.

btw, I know this from experience with another brand x-f locker I bought.

Keep us posted!

What brand locker did you buy?

On the outdrive housing of the diff cup they use 8 mm od, 6 mm id metal molded into the diff cup. (1mm Wall)
When producing this part from aluminium we feel a 2 mm wall is better than a 1 mm wall, easier to produce as well.

Bearings dont up the price that much. On a "retail" basis maybe $5.00

It was from Feral Cat racing. Only problem with it was the shafts where the outdrives go, got rounded off from the setscrew after a while.

So that's why I say it needs to be hardened metal for it to work.

Our locker will be a 2 piece with strong axles and as light as we can make it and still be tough.
