what yall think

[waaq]

well i have a revo 3.3 i like to mud and go deep in water. what do yall think about putting traxxas t lock in the revo whats the good and bads

[revo_rob_1984]

I have been toying around with the idea my self i have all the stuff to do it, but the problem i am running into is a place to mount the servos, linkages, ect

[waaq]

well duct tape and super glue and jk ya i thought about making it where you have to engage it manualy

[revo_rob_1984]

yeah thats all well and good but its alot more "trick" if you can be like "hey man check this out. . .*click*". . .you know what i mean?

[waaq]

ya you will just have to have a low profile linkage arm for the rear i think a 4ch tx and rx would be better so you can engage front or rear or both if you want

[NitroRC4Life]

its funny you guys have been thinking about this because so was I its just the servos that would maybe be a problem. the front is no problem but the back would need to be converted to a side exhaust for the extra room and you could maybe make a small lexan plate and mount a servo somehow to it. but i really want to try this when i get some money

[Metalhead Matt]

What about a standard locker in the rear and a t lock in the front? You could unlock the front via the tx to gain a little bit of steering back and just switch back to an open diff in the rear if your not going into the deep stuff that day. Takes only about a half an hour to change out the guts in a diff.

[revo_rob_1984]

with a locker in the rear won't the handling suffer????. . .i do alot of road running with my revo and i don't want to break anything if i do, do a locker in the rear

[Metalhead Matt]

Your right on, Rob. A locker will kill your handling and cause breakage on high grip surfaces. But if this fellow mud bogs most of the time, locked diffs might be up his alley.

well i think when i get the money and get the right parts ill try to do a build process! one question: will the t-lock diff fit the stock revo bulkhead? if yes then i am trying this soon for sure!

thanx for clearing that up for me i thought i was right but i wasn't 100% sure i run in mud as well but i mostly run on blacktop thats why i have a set of the roadrages on my rig right now, but i really wanna get a set of the HPI Phaltline tires but i want a specific style of wheel i just can't remember the style

[waaq]

well i drive on the road as much in the mud. the bigest prob i have with my revo is when im on the road and gun it one rear tire blows up bigger then the other. so if i could make it where a can lock it when i want ill have better controle over the car. plus it be cool to be able to lock it when i want

thats a real good question if they fit or not i think they will. and if you do try iy you will need to drill a whole in the chassis for the locker arm

[NitroRC4Life]

yea either that or heat up some linkage and bend it to fit but most likely i could work it out somehow over a weekend if i had the parts so im gonna start looking around for t-lock diffs and i have a 2 pairs of diffs and bulks sitting in my room but they are just stock so it doesnt do me any any good but i might try a spool in one of them?

[waaq]

i think they are like 45$ on ebay kinda pricey

[Metalhead Matt]

Locker on the road equals breakage. Unless you never give it any throttle when you turn.
