Default locking txt front diff

im thinking about locking my front diff but the turning circle is bad enough with just the rear locked. i only have front steer will it make the steering real bad if i lock the front up?

YES!!! It will make it alot whorse if you lock the front. But honestly, go ahead and put a rear steer on that thing and that will help you alot even with just the rear locked. Rear steer does a wounder man.

im cleaning the grease out as we speak ready for the epoxy. it will be getting 4ws just a matter of time. just when i was out today there was so many places it would just spin the wheels and one front tyre still had good traction just no drive going to it cause the other one was an inch off the ground

i locked mine and i had 4 wheel steer and every time i went to crawl it kept on stopping and going so i took out the 4 wheel steer and it crawled a lot better. LOCK THEM BOTH IF YOU WANT THE BEST PERFORMANCE AND KEEP 2 WHEEL STEER!

sounds like an esc problem some esc don't have an high enough bec or just a low battery 4 wheel steering is a must for making some tight corners
