How to LOCK UP the DIFF on a TRAXXAS SLASH 2wd, RUSTLER 2wd, STAMPEDE 2wd and BANDIT 2wd!!

[@hessxpress3016]

Also i left pins and grease in it and jammed the locker in. My Shaluoman brand spool fit with no resistance. Strange others dont fit

[@RCKnockout]

You were able to put the pins through the holes?

[@itzzgraham]

Hey man question, how did that locker turn out for you? Does your car track straight? How it’s it with doughnuts? have a hot racing differential, sealed with 500k fluid in the stock transmission but it still doesn’t really keep that one tire fire from happening!

[@RCKnockout]

It works alright…the car does seems to spin out quite a bit though

[@itzzgraham]

@@RCKnockout hmm strange maybe I’ll look for different options thanks man

[@RCKnockout]

@@itzzgraham you’re welcome

[@carlandrews3475]

What are you using on your chassis underneath the lcg to make it look like that I cannot find a video

[@RCKnockout]

@@carlandrews3475 what do you mean?

[@frothycarapace969]

Man I got one of those lockers and the shaft didnt fit the bearings. Anyone have an issue with that? Pins worked with mine..

[@drewncars9505]

It’s weird that the drag slash isn’t locked from the factory. I had a Losi 22s drag truck and it was either locked or it was super stiff with oil and had very very little slip

[@RCKnockout]

@@drewncars9505 mines not actually a drag slash from factory…I built it from scratch…and it has a stock slash transmission…that’s why I ended up using a locker spool

[@drewncars9505]

@ that makes sense! After this video I looked into the 272r transmission on an actual drag slash and saw that it has an entirely different diff. Still not locked but is sealed and has 500k diff fluid in it

[@RCKnockout]

@ yeah the drag slash has the metal geared, much tougher 272r trans in it…it’s a major upgrade over the stock 272 transmission

[@drewncars9505]

@@RCKnockout I’m just getting started in looking into upgrading my slash now. Our local track is unfortunately closing soon and I used to run it in a spec slash series so I kept it stock. Now that I won’t be able to race it there anymore I’ve been looking into upgrading it to just have fun with it in general. Just got an LCG conversion done and went brushless with a TSM receiver too. I stumbled across this video trying to find something to help with how open the diff feels. I’m thinking of getting the 272r soon or at the very least potentially just a locker like you did for now

[@RCKnockout]

@ I gotcha…hopefully you found the video somewhat helpful!

[@keaginm2791]

I put 80k diff fluid in my Slash with the stock diff and the leak was very very minimal. The fluid lasted for a long time

[@RCKnockout]

Interesting….How long are we talking? Days? Months?

[@keaginm2791]

@@RCKnockout I had it in there for almost a year, I just switched to a locked diff because I kept stripping diff gears. But I'm sure if you had thicker guild it would last even longer

[@RCKnockout]

@@keaginm2791 thanks for letting me know…..I appreciate it

[@allthingsmotorized1885]

@@keaginm2791 bit late but went other way for me, i had 100k and kept blowing the diff, moved to 30k and it lasts longer, prolly cause theres more strain if its distributing the grip

[@josediaz9483]

Nice, I bouth the same diff lock. Just installed it on my slash drag this morning. Getting ready to go out and test in a few hours.

[@RCKnockout]

I’ve yet to test mine….hopefully it will perform better 🤞

@@RCKnockout I want to see that run bro.

@@josediaz9483 don’t worry ….I’ll definitely be making a video testing it out

[@beakyboy2245]

These lockers are no good my rustler has been making the center shaft still rotate.even with righting the screw dwn as far as I can and it stills happens

[@gavinwentz9705]

Hey so would you recommend this for just the slash off-road 2wd truck ?

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah I’d only put this in a Slash 2wd

[@markoftheus]

This also works for the Bandit, 2WD Rustler and 2WD Stampede.

[@Offical_KingCorgiGaming]

Do you have to put the gears back into the diff

[@RCKnockout]

No you don’t put the gears back in

[@TwoSmoker420]

What would happen if you glued all those gears together??

[@RCKnockout]

It would probably lock it up

[@TwoSmoker420]

@@RCKnockout yeah I’ve seen a few other videos after watching this one and people use gorilla glue, some people say to use foam earplugs incase you ever wanna go back to open diff… thanks for the reply

Is there bearing around both side of the shaft ?

Yeah on the outside of the diff

I can’t remember tbh

[@RecklessRacingNY]

272R for the win. Fluid is LITERALLY how you tune the diff. 500k diff fluid works.

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks for the tip! 👍😉

[@islandrc-duke1972]

great video and info on locking up the diff

[@RCKnockout]

Thanks! Glad you like it! 😉

[@bs9two4]

hot glue works the same too

[@RCKnockout]

Good to know, thanks!

[@JReich01]

Where could I find the same front bumper as you

[@RCKnockout]

I think the brand is exotek or something like that…..I bought it on EBay

[@sh3lbot]

My 3800kv just destroys diffs. I've welded one, jb weld and gorilla glued another. All torn apart in 2 runs lol

[@RCKnockout]

Did you leave the planetary gears in there? Or did you take them out and jb weld the entire inside?

[@sh3lbot]

@@RCKnockout cleaned all the grease with brake clean and kept the gears in. let it cure for a few days. still went kablamo

If it was that tight then you should have just left it alone.

[@hessxpress3016]

Grind the flats deeper, use blue locktite and crank the two set screws YES it does hold up. your gonna get 100 ppl saying its junk.

[@RCKnockout]

So the flat part of the shaft isn’t flat enough??….I have it all put back together now so we will see if one grub screw will hold…..I’ve heard a lot of people say these are garbage

[@hessxpress3016]

@@RCKnockout with a little re-engineering anything can work lol i ground the flats deeper so it had no chance of moving but mine had two grub screws. ran my slash on 3S in the grass and bashing on 2S no trouble yet.

[@RCKnockout]

@@hessxpress3016 Awesome! Thanks for the tips man! Glad it’s working out for you

[@beakyboy2245]

I tried that and still didn’t work

[@RecklessRacingNY]

It's junk...

[@theworry184]

Budget way to do this is use silicone earplugs

[@RCKnockout]

Yeah there are cheaper ways…I could have gone Jb Weld? I’ve tried silicone ear plugs in my Kraton EXB diff when I first had issues with it….but it unfortunately still gave……packed it with some more and it gave again….it doesn’t seem to work 100% at least not in a powerful machine

[@valschurter8561]

My plan is to just put some expanding glue too lock up all the gears😁😁

[@RCKnockout]

I’m sure that would work…..or jb weld would work well too

[@theshyguitarist]

Compared to what you've already put into this car and all your others, and you're complaining about 100 bucks? lol. Pretty funny man.

[@RCKnockout]

True lol 😂

[@theshyguitarist]

@@RCKnockout So I did the upgrade to my Slash with the 32 pitch gears from Hot Racing. 18/58. Drives great, plenty of power, but not pulling wheelies. I'm running an older Velineon 3500 2 pole motor with the MambaMax Pro esc. Any advice? Honestly, I'd like to chat with you off of KZbin if possible. Just getting back into rc cars after being away from the hobby for 10 years.

@@theshyguitarist yeah you might wanna gear it down a bit if you still wanna pull wheelies
