Yeah you blew the stock lockers. So upgrade to some kind of a metal one. I went with the HR ones and just installed them yesterday. But theres a couple to choose from. Also make sure you have a really really good screw driver for the lockers cuz people strip the screws or break the heads off them. Well that happened to me. and also use a soldering iron on the lil phillip screws to help loosen the locktite before the start of the rebuild... so hope that helps.

Since your MRC is new, if you do rip the head off of one of the tiny screws that hold the locker to the ring gear then just call the contact number that is in the manual and they will send you a whole new ring/pinion / locker assembly. Thats what they did for me so now I have a few extra spare parts since all I needed was the ring gear that had the screw stuck in it. |

I actually got all my screws out intact with almost no problems but I do have a really nice set of screwdrivers.... My glued lockers lasted all of 15 minutes and they were again so it looks like my crawling will be put on hold until my lockers come in :( gives me plenty of time to do some cutting on the body and a few other mods though so not all bad I guess. But anyways thanks for your help guys.
