If you feel the open diffs aren't adequate, then try adding Shoo Goo to the differential, it works pretty good for limited slip without skidding much in a turn.

My KH 6x4 has the last axle locked, sometimes I peel the front tires with a load on. Freddy's red GL 6x4, I added Shoo Goo just to the last diff & it gets around as good as the KH.

Joe , I'm going to get the box on and fix the drive shaft sliping and see how it goes with a load on it . it's front heavy empty till you put 40-50 lbs in the box . I don't want it skiding on a ramp with a load of coal . the tires work good as duels but I think I'll need stiffer foam in the front . not only that I got a deformed bead that would never hold any bb's I don't have the walking beams right so I'm not getting good oscilation . I'm going to re make them in steel the right way with a little more detail to them

Empty , it did well , then I put about 50# of wet dirt in it and tried the hill the dang slipper clutch on the trany gotta go and It could use a litte mor reduction ( planetaries maybe Hmmm , I might attack that after Jan. cabin fever show ) here's a few pics of the body hing and top cylinder boss .

no vid again but It just ran its 1st coal job tonight 20 loads for 2/3 of a 55gal drum . worked well , no clutch slipping this time just a lousy formed front tire that kept coming off good thing I had a spare It still came off with the body totaly heaped ( 1.5 grain shovel full ) so I cut back to 1 . now to get it dumping on it's own . I need a loader now too
