i just used super glue to lock the diffs.. it works good. crawls much better. but watch out for the axles that go to the wheels cause mine broke because of all the stress with the locked diffs.. FYI

RE: my lil 1/24 rc crawler
i just got back from webetoys, and got one of these and the crawler upgrade, $10 for the truck and $5 for the crawler kit. i have to say the flex on these things is impresive, i want a little more power, and im going to mod the shocks, i think one of my x mod motors will fit in this thing, hmmm im going to try and get some mo power, u think just some recharable AA's will be a little power boost?

RE: my lil 1/24 rc crawler
u think it will be ok to glue the rear diff on this thing, with the stock motor and everything, maby if i am just carefull to not break it. i think with a locked rear this thing would be like the ultimate rc u can buy for 10 bucks
EDIT: well i glued my rear diff just now, it wheels a ton beter, and the turning and such does not seem to be affected much if any i cant really even tell, so we'll see if anything breaks, but if it does oh well, i will buy a couple more and have a parts truck, if u take these thing apart they are actually prety beefy, the weakest part prolly being the dogbones. but i guess time will tell. man these things are fun fer a whoping $10 bucks.

RE: my lil 1/24 rc crawler
i locked the front but not the back yet. ill do it this weekend along with installing the xmod esc. ill take some pics and maybe post a vid if i can figure out how to do it. i just got done painting my hummer body camo. anyone know of some taller wheels that could be put on this truck for more ground clearance
