Default Remote diff lock kit

Who has one in stock with reasonable shipping. I just checked Tower Hobbies and they're not in stock. The Venom website shows them in stock but the shipping is outrageous. $10 plus to ship a micro servo and a few small parts. :-(

Is it ok to buy one set to open / lock both differentials at the same time ?

Nope....You need 1 set for each axle. You can probably use a Y harness to control both of them from 1 channel.

if i could do it again, i might just mount a servo on the axle to do that. I already have mine installed. but had to add the return spring.

I have seen a few people running an arm of some type right to the lock switch.

... I would suggest to mount the Diff-Lock Servo directly to the steering servo and connect it with a linkage set... Works better than with the original solution...
->Pic of the mount, look here (3. pic):
Venom Tuber - many pics!

my son and i just got done putting his creeper together yesterday and we put the remote kit on the front and rear. in my opinion the kits are a total a waste of money. they only worked once and have never worked properly again. i need to check out the pics with the axle mounted servo it seems like a great idea compared to the orig. design. im glad i saw the last reply before i got a little nuts over the kits malfunctioning!!!!

i'll do the same, but how to prevent servo being destroy when i need to lock, coz the are 3 holes and you can hit them all the time on first servo move.
