Still researching but more than likely i am going to lock the center diff on my Losi 5ive T Rock Racer (Brushless) and so far i only see a Vertigo option. Are there others out there who are a better option or better to run 1 or 2 mill fluid?
 
Personally I recommend 20mil or silly putty in the center instead of a locker. Lockers just lead to broken parts IMO.
That said, I have 3 lockers on my bench. Shoot me a PM if you want one (For free! Mods, please don't shoot!)
 
If you do go vertigo get the steel lockers, the aluminum one will start to get slop in the bore the axle cup sits in. Once that starts happening your brake rotors will start to have vertical play.
 
Thanks for the replies.

20million? Hope you meant 2 million

I only saw a aluminum on DDM. I'll go to Vertigo website and see what they offer.
 
Nope, I meant 20mill, it's found in the X-maxx center differential. Traxxas #5040
Soft silicone ear plugs are another option.
20mill Traxxas
20-30mill soft silicone ear plugs
30+mill for the Silly putty

I have half 1 mill and half ear plugs in the center of my dbxl-e, equivalent to ~10-15mill.
 
I agree, I'm not a fan of ear plugs by themselves, they tend to break down really fast. "mixing" it with differential oil, even just a little, really helps eliminate air bubbles and maintain consistency.
