| I used hot glue the first time and after about 6 months it started to slip again! 15 minute epoxy and large metal shavings, it's not going anywhere now. |

| Lowes sells this 2 part epoxy putty. Easier to work with then JB Weld plus, fully set in 3 hours. |

| thanks for all the info guys. i will probably just use jb weld since I already have some and this thing won't really be running for a week or so. |

| I'm partial to QuikSteel. it's only about $10 for a tube @ wal-mart. fast drying 2 part epoxy putty. bought it to patch up a gas tank (imprevious to chemicals, and will dry while wet). and have since used it to patch a radiator on the trail, aswell as an oil pan that rusted through! Great stuff..... but yea...that's a great way to perma-lock a diff |

| I wouldn't use jb weld or epoxy... for the simple reason if you strip the teeth off the diff your sol unless you carry spares, IMO, here a better way of locking pede diff and you can take it a part if needed be. Locking Stampede diff(no epoxy) |

| Locking Stampede diff(no epoxy) this is a different way to lock the diff but it is interesting. It is easy to lock the diff, just open it up, clean the grease out, and put jb weld or i used gorilla glue in mine to set the diff gears inplace |
