Where can I get my locker?

[jlhustad]

Hi peeps,

I've built a tube chassis monster truck with MF axles.
I''ve been JB welding my rear diff for a while, but it wont last (read explodes).

Where can I find a locker online? (SuperShafty is out of stock).
I live in Norway, so international shipping is a must...

What breaks, Pins or gears ?

[jlhustad]

a bit of both.
I've been through 3 diffs (got a parts-truck)..

[CheapTwin]

If it's the pins I think spool won't get You out of trouble, If You don't Crawl with it but You desire "locked" axle effect while driving I'd suggest "open" diff with full set of meshed gears and 100.000+ diffoil, That'll be very stiff but it will ease the stress in corners and in sudden changes of wheel speed on either side of the axle

I'm surprised you want lockers in a monster truck.

CheapTwin;
would this do the trick? Mugen Silicone Differential Oil (100,000wt) (50ml) [MUGB0320] | RC Cars & Trucks - A Main Hobbies

Calderwood;
A locked rear end can get you out of many scetchy situations, I leave the front open.
I also like doing wheelies :-) and at this point it unloads very easily.

[CheapTwin]

that will do just fine

[mjderstine]

i use 1000000 diff oil in my TF monster truck. pops wheelies just fine. i recommend it.

[jlhustad]

recommended oil ordered, guess I have couple of diffs to rebuild :-)

Hi Rick,
Thanks for the heads-up.
I'm also thinking of four linking it (triangulated), so I think a little order of some Super Shafty goodness is in order (it being the truck in the "Traxialosho" thread").

On a different note; having seen your mud truck on Harley Designs youtube channel; how are the axles coping with 4s and above? are there any "must have" upgrades?

Have you seen my BYB Video on my YouTube channel?

I run 6S Li-Po

so I added a few extra screws around the tube and it
hasnt come loose since
