Why waste your time to JB Weld it when there are lots on Ebay! Hopmeup has them on there all of the time.

Look under Losi MRC..

have to buy 2 sets (1 for each diff). they replace all the plastic bits in the axle diffs and are held in by the stock screws

Hopefully no one else's are held in by globs of red thread lock like mine were. Lucky I didn't strip all the tiny screws out.

I broke a screw in each of mine when I changed to metal lockers, but ordered two complete diff. units from Horizon. Iam hoping they come unassemblied so I can put the metal lockers in then use the thread lock

I'll be curious to see if that is the way to go - aluminum ones.

Staying tuned.

Default LMC Metal Lockers

Just picked up a set of the Metal Lockers from Losi , got them off ebay ..Used "buy it now" on Tuesday, had them on Friday.. When I tried to remove the old plastic ones I too had 4 of those tiny screws break off in the ring gear (must have had thread locker on them), took absolutley no pressure and the screw heads snapped clean off . To solve the problem I had to buy the COmplete diff kit LOSB0941 and the Losi Metal Lockers LOSB1433. = BULLETPROOF .... The metal lockers went back order thru Feb 11th when I tried to order them at my locay Hobby Town USA. Ebay was for sure the way to go on those...
