Re: lockable axles
They work well, but it puts a lot of strain on the light metal Tamiya spider cross within the differential. Gotta shop around for a steel cross upgrade or maybe the Gear Doctor offers them that way now.
I had a 6wd Globe pulling 70lbs gvw up 12 degree incline, crosses did not last long... that was a decade ago, I vaguely remember some one offering steel crosses, but I can't remember who.
After that trial & error episode, I then just manually locked the rearmost axle dropping a spider gear between the other two and put shoo goo in the other two differentials.
