Locking the diff ...

[cougar2465]

Thinking of stuffing the diff housing with some rags (towels etc) to lock it with bit of cushions for the gears as well. Do you think it will work? I was thinking about stuffing some bluetac in there but heard that bluetac will melt under heat.

So what do you think?

IMO it's a bad idea and yes bluetac will melt.
Your turning radius will be nasty huge with those tyres and you will hate it.
