[@AddamsPlayground]

Very nice! They have some chunky diffs in them! Should hold up nicely.

[@JF-RC]

Hi Addam, this CR-01 should be renamed the Chunky Wagen 😂😉😂everything is so much more substantial, it a pleasure to build. Thank you for watching and commenting. Take care, best wishes 😎😊😎

[@FastFreddyRC]

Not surprised but very glad to see the differentials are made of metal (including the housing). They should be able to take some true crawling abuse. Great step John. I always enjoy working with gears :)

[@JF-RC]

[@arminrc]

Excellent work on these Diffs! 👍 Are you going to lock them?

[@JF-RC]

Hi Armin, thank you for watching and leaving me a thumbs up. I’m going to attempt to leave them in open state for the time being, but if I need to lock them, a simple screw pin, in through the axle housing, and we’re locked. A great design by Tamiya. Best wishes 🖐️😉😎

[@user-gk8gg1zt7l]

Nice video. Like me.

[@JF-RC]

Hi, thank you for watching and leaving me a nice comment. Best wishes 😎😉🖐️

[@RCBirds]

Great job John. But I've one question, are you planning to lock them or will they stay this way?

[@JF-RC]

Hi Dirk, thank you for watching and leaving me a nice comment. A very good question, I’ve opted to leave both axles in an open state, but I can easily lock them with the special screw pin, without having to take the axles apart, it’s a neat design feature of the axles. Best wishes😎😊😉

[@rc-dom-uk]

which threadlock do you use mate ?

[@JF-RC]

Hi Dom, I’m using the blue Liqui Moly, don’t need much, it has a gel like consistency, so doesn’t just run out of the nozzle. Best wishes 😉😎😉
