The " CONTROVERSIAL " CENTER DIFFERENTIAL LOCKERS!!!

How I Lock my 1/5 scale RC's center differentials and Why

[@kgbigdog1596]

I like how suddenly at the end the bearing appeared on there, good magic trick

[@ddteamrc6461]

Yup! Skills

[@Niobium23]

Great video, I run a monster on my 5t with a Taylor 35. The locker made the truck so much quicker, it used to spin tires a lot, now she grips and rips!

[@ddteamrc6461]

I swear by the lockers! Lock everything! 🔐

[@hybrid32494]

totally with you on this one!! I hate center diffs in general, not like we are racing on a packed/loose dirt track where you need that with a 1/8 buggy. IDK why they put these on monster trucks that need full 4WD at all times usually. luckily for me the redcat rampage series does not have a center diff!!!!

[@ddteamrc6461]

Heck yeah! Go big or go home!

[@constantine2731]

Yh but Redcat rampage not my cup off tea

[@ricky57365]

Great video please keep doing this types of videos in the future it really helps alot

[@charliebrown238]

I cant see how a center locker would make you "break" stuff more ... you still have a diff either end that has give in it. Also, I would think putting a locker in the center would also eliminate power loss in that area ... any extra weight in the driveline is no good ... especially having such thick oils in there ... anytime that center diff is spinning, thats power being loss to heat. What do you guys think?

[@johnrcuk2144]

I’ve just ordered them for my DBXL 2.0

[@ddteamrc6461]

That's Awesome!

Yes, First. Thanks brother! Feel better man

[@rcsfinest1883]

Nice great info I have a question do you know if this diff locker will fit the RCMK XCR 1200 SE I spoke to Steve he didn’t know you may have a lil more info thanks Eric..

[@robcanthandlestupidy9249]

What the fifth scale do you have. That monstrous compared to kraton 8 exb

[@spellbound100]

Would this be ok to use in a DBXL-E on 8S? i drive mainly on grass / dirt but also sometimes on hard asphalt

[@Clickbaiters]

This would be okay under those bashing conditions however, I would only recommend you lock no more than the center diff. You'll get 50/50 power distribution at the expense of cornering dynamics but thats fine for a basher. Also, by not locking the front/rear diffs you won't be as hard on the drive line which means less breakages. Locking the center diff is not as horrendous as people make it seem.

[@Blueknight1960]

@@Clickbaiters Yea well, I put this locker on my dbxl-e 2.0 and on the 1st run, it bent both rear drive axles. On the second run, it broke gears inside both front and rear diffs.

[@jacopienaar9157]

hey bud hope you are doing any chance you might know what dif locker i can use for a rovan f5

[@imserious2187]

Is it better to use a heavier/thicker fluid or the diff locker?

[@ddteamrc6461]

Sometimes you just gotta swing for the fences

[@Blueknight1960]

Here's my experience with the locker on my dbxl-e 2.0. I installed the locker and on the 1st run, it bent both rear drive axles. Replaced and on the second run, both front and rear diffs has to be rebuilt. It now has the stock center diff put back in w/ 20mil fluid. The locker might be ok if your drag racing the rc, but isn't worth it (imo) for bashing. But to be fair, it came with a piece of paper that says parts can break using this locker.

Nice work bro! 👍

Thank you! From the daddy Daughter team

[@joshchatwin8179]

I need to understand a little more of what it actually dose like is it more power to the ground or what

[@ddteamrc6461]

Yes, more consistent even Power, to all wheels

[@tylerschwager1338]

Where do I get one of these lockers

[@lorenzohall8305]

I know I'm late but I wanted to know does the center differential locker makes a big difference in performance and did it cause anything to break?

[@ddteamrc6461]

In my opinion, I feel they distribute more even traction and I haven't broken anything that was caused by the locker

[@lorenzohall8305]

Not true, , the pin stays put just fine 🙂

[@bespincustompropsbombarta8300]

Center diffs are a by product of racing buggies and are just something else that get loose, need shimming, strip teeth and add extra weight, even more pointless when fitted in a crawler with slipper clutches. Tamiya have managed without them for 40+ years.
