Regarding locking one or both axles

It depends how much off roading you want to do. My experience says when you go into soft dirt or gravel of any kind you need both locked in. I find that when you lock in just one axle you still will get stuck when that axles has no weight on it. The Tamiya Suspension is very poor for traction. The stock springs are way to soft to keep weight balanced across both axles. Most times if your truck has a trailer on back the trucks frame rails are touching the axle stops. this means that when the truck encounters bumps only the axle that is touching the frame has good traction. the other is just floating so to speak. If both axles are locked you at least always have solid traction from one axle when traveling over bumps. I have witnessed guys with only one locked axle in the dirt and they still spin out fairly easy.
