tamiya differential interchangeability - ???

[WhiteWolf McBride]

Lmack,

Easiest & cheapest way to lock up those Tamiya spider diff's is to use a spare bevel and place it between two of the three others in the diff, then re-assemble the diff. Also means you can unlock it at any time, or if you sell the axle, the next person can do it easily w/o having to muck about with removing epoxy/JB-weld/whatever.

I also remember that OutcastRC (member I knew from the MakingTrax forum) experimented with superheavyweight grease in the diff of his Blizzard, sommat like 20 thou? Mebbe he'd chime in, or you could PM him. This option would allow something to give before anything snapped...
