Locked DIff.

[scaremonger]

I was going to do like someone in here suggested, stuff the diff with playdo. But when i got to it, i found that the diff has a grub screw just like the eight scale diffs. Do you guys think this will hold up to the weight of the Ramp? http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu229/SCAREMONGER_2009/Parts/IMG_1093.jpg

No it would not the plastic would rip out that screw keeps the diff fluid in.

Are you telling me that the little scew is not for locking diffs? Oh oh.

Ok now i locked the diff. I din't wait for the dough to hardened so it still has some diff motion. This is not my idea but i was willing to try. http://i650.photobucket.com/albums/uu229/SCAREMONGER_2009/Parts/IMG_1112.jpg

Are you looking from diff or rear?

It would be cool if you could stick the center gear into the rear diff, basically acting as a spool, but the bearings don't line up. You'd be able to use the hex-style cups, too.

Hey Scare, If this doesn't work out, next time use 50K or even thicker 100K Wt. diff fluid. That stuff will barely let the gears move but still will if needed. Putty may not be the best idea going by 1/8 scale threads I recall...Only used in low speed applications like crawlers..but I have read one guy did run a Savage Flux with 100K in the F/R so he could power up hilly terrain better.
