Locking differentials

[Lil Giants]

Yeah frizzen I've used Shoe Goo in the diffs, usually the front diff of a TLT, then left the middle axle open & manually locked the rear axle dropping a spider gear between the other two within diff for 5wd. I've also used the Gear Doctor lockers that Bo linked too, but they're hard on stock Tamiya spider crosses... somebody makes a steel spider cross, might be rcbrim?

I think I have a 6x6 set of locker axles that I got from RC4WD yrs ago, they're the same axles in the Eagle Mach wheel loader, RCBRIM makes them? I never used them, still in box, you're welcome to them condor for $cdn, pm if you're interested... as I see you're from Ontario, shipping will be cheap.

I've pretty well retired all my Tamiya trks, too small, too weak... FUMOTEC POWER WAHOO!!!

Tamiya diffs. " Tamiya spider crosses... somebody makes a steel spider cross, might be rcbrim?" Tamiya has them on the Ford F 350 High Lift.https://www.ebay.com/itm/Tamiya-5652...k/112008265797 Check out the cross has a BLACK center and steel pins. Not to use the grey garbage one, just wonder why they still make that?

I can also say, Hercules Hobby is the night shift of Tamiya sort of. Day shift closes the night shift change materials to cheaper and weaker stuff and put it in less expensive boxes, that's why they can cut price.
