Help needed with rc car.

Right i have just acquired a rc car (Tamiya TT-01) so i am going to use my older one being a TL-01 as a drift car. I need help on how to lock the rear diff properly and not using blu-tak as i heard it can be done. Im going to get the pvc drift tyres and quicker motor is there anything else needed.

Cheers Luke

Hi mate you can get solid axle to replace both front and rear diffs
Always on eBay or glue them good luck

I just loctited mine on my tt01. Infact I still have it in peices round here somewhere... Really should build it back up.

If you want to lock the diff up, then the best way is with bicycle inner tube repair rubber.

* Go to your local bicycle store.
* Buy one of the inner tube repair patches (flat type).
* Take the ball diff out of the chassis, and dis assemble it.
* Cut the inner tube rubber to the size of the pressure rings (marked 305082 and 305050 in the diagram).
* Remove the smaller ball bearings that sit against the diff shaft.
* Place each inner tube rubber circle between the diff shaft and pressure rings.
* Tighten the lot back up and place the ball diff back in the chassis mount.

This diagram should help you see what I mean...




Now go rip it up with your freshly locked diff.
Works a treat, and will NEVER slip. And not a bodge job like the blu-tack or loctite.

I never had a problem with mine.
Hope that helps.
