A stampede has no "center" tranny
It is two wheel drive

Just make sure you change out your planetary gears before you jb weld. Get the new style with the hole in the shaft for your yoke pin

yeah, thats some good advise. Wish I would have known about that before I JB'd mine together. I can just drill them if need be. The steel yokes stopped most of the yoke pop offs.

Use some two part epoxy, squirt it inside the Diff with all the gears inside, put it together and start turning the gears the gears will mix it together and in about 4 minutes it will be as hard as a rock. I did it this way and I have had no problems.

You can lock them with a dremel and the stock gears.

Theres an easier way to do this, and its reversible

When you take the diff cap off, you see your 4 main idler gears. 2 are rasied up higher then the other 2

Pull out the 2 lowest sitting ones and put 1 or 2 small washers underneath them. Put the gears back on and check that the gears are still making a mesh!

When you put the top back on and your other outdrive the gears will mesh here aswell. Instant reversible locked diff

Note: If you dont space it far enough, it wont mesh with the opposing gear

If you space it out too far, it will lose mesh with its current gear

Does this make sense?

Thanks Again, I ended up soldering them. Holds good so far and I can remove all internals in 1 piece to put in a new metal gear when the plastic ones take a crap, (tranny from a xl-5)
