Traxxas Locking Differential won't engage? Try this!

[@TheRoadTaken]

That is amazing the fault tolerance is that high on *cough* *cough* a "toy"! Great video and I appreciate you explaining your thought process. I also appreciate the tips along the way such as putting the caps back on to protect the threads. That is invaluable information! Are you even aware you are doing that? It comes across to the viewers as natural. You are a great teacher.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Seth I know how much I needed a video like this, glad it helped you! Happy Holidays brother 🤝

[@ZahedFelemban]

Thanks for the walkthrough, I have the same issue, although it is the opposite, the diff is locked and jammed and doesn't open

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Hope it worked for you Zahed 🤝

[@hondafreak8613]

Did one of the bearings explode? How did that ball bearing ball get inside? Unless came from factory like that?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Exactly right, came from the factory like that … good 👁️

[@bowang4519]

Great work！I guess that little ball comes from the 15x21x4mm bearing. I would check that.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Good eye, thanks

[@wolfpackrc]

Well thanks. I know where to start looking on my new ultimate hauler rear axle some time.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Wolfpack 🤝

[@ΣοφιοςΓιωργος]

That means you need new Bearing .the ball was from that.right?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

it was an extra piece of metal that got stuck in there from the factory

[@jdsrcs8061]

Great find. Amazing how a tiny thing can jam stuff up.🤘🤘

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Right?! Strange wouldn't have thought if I didnt see it

[@CarbideGames]

Nice repair and good video, thanks.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thanks Carl appreciate it

[@TheRoadTaken]

What brand of hex drivers are you using? They look like they would be very comfortable to use.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Hey Daryl, they’re from Protek RC, real easy to work with

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Best I’ve used so far

[@TheRoadTaken]

@@RickysGarageVibes I'm a believer in pay once cry once. They are in my shopping cart now.

[@RickysGarageVibes]

You won’t be disappointed

[@brysenmcmillan4684]

My servo won't engage, I even switched it around with the other diff servo then it worked and the other didn't. Do you have any suggestions

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Servo burned???

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Try to get a metal one .. there's some good ones on Amazon or Amains ... If you get another original, try not to shift gears when the vehicle is in motion always stop then change the gear

[@brysenmcmillan4684]

@Ricky's Garage Vibes I have metal servos on the way but I think it might be a receiver issue.

[@tikaz133]

Idk why i have the same problem but there isnt anything blocking it. It simply wont lock only sometimes, and the part that moves to lock the diffs keeps going out

[@markho9405]

Thank you! I have the same problem so this video is very helpful!!

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Glad it helped! Thanks Mark 🤝

[@SlavaRC]

Excellent work my friend!)🤩💥💯👍👏

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thank you brother 🤝

[@fredo7482]

I want to lock all diffs but I don't hear the servos engage when I hit the switch foward

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Stock servos are plastic, might be gone - is it make a loud noise? consider metal servos next

[@YOOPDLRC]

very nice 👍😊👍 ~~~

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@kevinc5917]

I over greased my diffs and the locker wouldnt engage

[@surfside75]

Yeah so apparently the two spline parts that engage/disengage are to be bone dry😮. I didn't know this.

[@twomontess]

Any idea where it came from ?

[@RickysGarageVibes]

Likely the factory ... such weird and random
