locked diff?

[nersik]

Now I've got a noob question about SCX10 dif: how can it possibly be unlocked with only 2 bevels?
If you look at real differential and compare it to what you have in SCX10 will notice some difference. The "heavy duty locker" is actually an adaptor to mount axles directly in crown wheel. How can one make it work as differential without those additional gears??

Pic for reference

And SCX10 from above

The only answer comes in my mind is slipping.

wanted to upgrade my axles from stock locker to either Robinson Racing Outdrive Diff Lock Gear AX10/SCX10 or Hot Racing Axial SCX10 AX10 Wraith Unibody SHD Differential Locker anyone have either these with any comments

The first product you listed is for the transmission, the second product is for the axle. Both have worked well for me.

You're correct, the diffs are locked. However can be unlocked with the additional spider gears in the diff case in place of the locker. But who'd wanna do that!? :mrgreen:

More scale trail rig?

Technically SCX10 does not have differentials at all.

I'm using the HR locker as well with no problems to date.

Ah yeah I can see that being preferable to get your foff on. You run f/r unlocked or just front?

 

[johnnyh66]

Just the front is open... it handles great. "thumbsup"
