Need Leasons about Axle Types

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Oh...

One of my contacts over in the Blizzard forum suggested (and tried) a semi-locked option... and how. And NOT with one of those cable-locking systems that inflate the price of the axle at least 50%...

Old way was to fill the pumpkin with epoxy or JB, right? Wasteful and overkill. But what if you filled it with something VERY thick (viscous), but not ~solid~. Like packing grease. If my memory serves me right, for some reason 10,000 weight was what he used. I can try to see if I can still access the forum... or contact him. (forum was 'MakingTrax')

The Kyosho Blizzard used a diff between the tracks (pretty sure it was recycled from one of their trucks) and you braked one side or the other to turn it. The super-thick grease effectively locked the diff up unless you braked the track, forcing the thick grease to give.

Its an option. And seeing that you'll be in the water, probably a rather worthwhile one.

PS: everyone has the Robbe-to-Tamiya axle adapters, to use Panther tires on Tamiya axles, but there are none for the other way around! I think I may havta ask one of you guys to make me a set!
