Default creeper locker question

I love my creeper just don't like the manual locking diffs. I have had nothing but trouble with them first they kept slipping out of being locked so I glued the switch into the locked position then while I was crawling I heard something snap and it came unlocked and I couldn't get it to lock back. I took the diff apart and found that 2 of the 3 pins on the red locker r bent idk if that is the problem. I am wondering is there anyway to permitely lock the diffs or is there another whole diff I can get that will work with fit and work in the stock axle case or is the a whole axle set case diff everything that will work with the stock shock and suspension arm mounts. Thanks to anyone who can give any help.

as far as I know the AX10 lockers fit aswell.

(I will be trying this in a few day's, getting some creeper axles from a friend, and have 3racing AX10 lockers to go in)

do like alot of us have, take the diffs apart, clean the grears REALLY good and pack with jb weld. reassemble and let them sit over night. thats a cheap fix. i did this to mine and they have been doing fine for a year now.
theres also flm aluminum lockers. good luck finding these. last i knew rcbros had them in stock. then rmdw makes "lincoln lockers" which are a welded set spyder gears...

Watch the green ones. As they are known to fail. They are made out of softer aluminum...
