Default Old maxx question.

Hey, this is my first post on a count of I just got back into nitro, I used to rock crawl a month ago, but traded my TLT for an older style Maxx.
I was wondering if I could lock the rear diff without conciquence to the wallot. (Axles, half-shafts....)

It's got a Megatech M-.16 with a big header and tuned pipe right now, with that setup I can beat a 2.5.

But... I want to be able to pull some wheelies and mudbog and hillclimb pretty good, but I don't know if I'll be back to racing.

So would JB Welding the rear be a big deal, or something good to do?

I'd like that for the "Limited slip" effect, and it's probably removable... Is there anything a little stiffer than putty?? Maybe putty and the pink tube of JB Weld (Not compete weld)?

the silly putty would make it pretty stiff, think how viscous it is, that's what does it, I'd try that before doing something perminant...

I also melted wax in the diff cup at one point, it was very solid but still had some play in it so I didn't blow shafts...

yeah, but if one tire gets stuck on something, the other will still spin, but you don't really rock crawl with nitro's anyway...
