|  diff locking, help
k, i need to lock my diffs. i dont know what method i should use. i would use epoxy, but dont want to mess up. how are you supposed to glue it perfectly without putting the gearbox back together? or do you epoxy it then put it together and let it dry? i was doin some research and i found a really clever way to lock txt diffs, but i dont think it works with clod diffs. it involves moving one of the three middle gears directly inbetween the other two. heelp

I put screws through the main diff gear to mesh with the teeth of the side gears then filled the diff with hotglue.

I would not use jb weld, I did this and it broke very quikly, jb weld is not for plastic. Use a high temp hotglue gun. I have never had one fail with hotglue.

i ended up using hot glue and it hasnt failed me yet. i used about one whole stick of glue in each diff, so i couldnt imagine it coming apart.

I used epoxy on the gear-to-gear contact areas, then after it dried i filled it with hot glue. It seems to be working pretty well, havent had any problems with it yet!
