Do not lock the diffs bro. You will murder the drivetrain.
Actually might be fun to see the devastation tho.ScaleCoastHeroes

All the guys in the UK seem to run the center lock bar? Joel with the 80 in an rr5 has a lockbar with a modded losi 5ive spur gear.

They run on a smooth soccer field.
Ah so its the bumps and stuff.. losing traction then grabbing and then snapping stuff? Working on a w5 myself with an ALX so I may have to stick with the center lsd if the locker is going to break things.

Exactly. It's the inconsistencies in the terrain if you are running on anything other than smooth field. That's why I run the locker on my onroads without an issue

Engine is officially in, everything fits very snug. Going to try 38/60 gearing and see what happens. Going with ALX super spikes and axis race pace wheels, see how it all holds up.

Quick rundown of the servo setup on the MCD W5, has 5 servos. Lots of wiring and scratching my head

This beast is basically finished and ready to go, we got hammered with snow. Closed almost the entire state down, but it's warm again so should be gone soon. Did a first start a week ago or so, definitely going to be nasty. Weights 49lbs, just 3 pounds heavier than my carbon losi which is amazing.

Love how this rig turned out. A bit complex on the brake system but definately a super nice build
