cc01 diff locks

[GrumGTI]

hi guys, as the thread title states, whats the best way to lock the front and rear diffs on the cc01. i heard they had a diff locking kit?, how true that is i dont know,

i already locked the rear diff with some bits of plastic i had laying about, but that lasted all of about 5 mins,

so what im asking, is there any specfic way to the the front and rear diffs?

or anything in particular that works well?.

ive thought about soldering the diff up, but not sure on how strong itd be?

thanks guys hope to get some good ideas and input

cheers

There is a plastic piece that comes with the kit that you can use to lock the rear diff.

Just order another one and put it in the front.

Or, you could stuff the diff with paper towel/napkin, or putty, or hot glue.

Or, do this - http://www.rccrawler.com/forum/tamiya-xc-c...tml#post3528322

thanks for that i kinda had some idea of things to use just trial an error really i suppose

as i didnt buy it new im not aware of the part name or number to lock the diffs if i were to buy the proper bit.

IIRC you need the 'G-parts tree' there's 2 plastic thingys that replace the spider gears in the diff

To lock both diffs you'd need 2 sets of G-parts

Yup, G Parts 19005422

Or just use something like Araldite on the cogs to lock them together. Works a treat and is a lot cheaper than ordering 2 lots of parts.

Thanks for the ideas, and for the Part number id need.

i have however managed to lock the rear diff by placing one of the spider cogs between the other two, this seemed to work and ive heard a few people do it this way.

ive stil got the front to go but that loocks more complicated to get to as it looks like it have to removed the front driveshafts etc.

im thinkin leave the front until some new tyres come then do the lot at once, as i plan on doing the steering mod and possibly trying to get a bit more travel in the front.

asi said, thanks again guys
