I put the locker in my center diff too, but I'm going a different way then the thicker shock oil to keep it from bottoming out on the departure of a jump. I put stiffer DDM springs on it and gonna lighten up the shock oil. I think the springs will carry the weight better with out bottoming out and then with lighter shock oil, it will transfer weight better/quicker and not want to spin out as easy. Kinda like I have my Baja setup I dirt oval race. It's pretty "floppy" but it sure hooks up good! And with the center diff locked, it will power the rear wheels all the way off the jump and not loose power as soon as the front wheels leave the ground. Just my thoughts.

Just lay in a good supply of the pins in the drive shaft and out on the wheel because it will break them with the center diff locked mine breaks them with 100000 in diff that is if you jump it a lot the DDM springs help a lot

Ok, back to the OP's orginal question, I emailed a couple places that make 5ive 2 speeds today to see if they will have anything for the DBXL and this is what Demon RC sent me...
"We are currently testing prototypes for the Losi buggy. It's similar to the one for the 5ive but requires some modification. I expect us to continue testing through the summer and early fall and hopefully have it ready for release this winter.
Sales - Demon RC"

Do you know where or what size the drive pins are? I can't find any "kits" and noticed the pins on the dog bones are wearing quite a bit and would like to replace them before they brake. All I can find is the universal joint repair kits. I got a couple of those for spare parts.

Cool, thanks. I just ordered 2 set of drive pins for the 5ive off ebay. Spare parts!
Now, if I could just keep my right rear drive shaft from falling out! lol

I got the drive pins sets in for the 5ive and just FYI for everyone, the small cross pins look like they will work great, just need a flat spot or divot ground for the set screw but the outer axle pins are bigger then the DBXL's. So if you wanted to use them, you would have to drill out your hubs and axles.
