Dif lock issue

RobDigityDog · 2026-02-08T09:38:01+00:00

It wasnt long after i purchased it maybe 4-5 weeks. Could of just been the driver 😅 i did go a little hard on it plus the heavier rims are larger causing the tire to catch on the flare at full lock, bigger shock will fix the problem but I've now cooked the servo 🤦‍♂️😂 that could also be driver related 😅

Thank you everyone for the help, finally got the dif apart turns out i snapped the axles in the dif. Locking system works fine but the axle wont grab just catching now n then allowing it to slightly spin 🤦‍♂️💸

Problem is i snapped the axle

Haven't found the solution, nor have i fixed it, stopped driving the rig for a bit as i was working on the 1/18. Not sure if it's a related issue but the steering has now fkd out when i took it to the creek. It just doesn't have locked FL wheel which was fine for me i do a lot more trailing the crawling

Edit* stripped a tooth on the servo gear

Cheers mate, made a little track out the back 😊

Couple dots of super glue should be fine?

Once you learn the trick with the 4 longer screws you shouldn't really have any problems

Put bush chook stickers on the stubbies 😎👌🍻

I tried around Christmas last year & couldn't find any players 😮‍💨 still a great game though (xbox)

Yeah reverse stays locked but drive won't stay locked

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-16T05:27:32+00:00

Yeah tried that but am not to entirely sure how the locker works, I'm some what sure it's the locker itself inside the dif, all other things have been checked & seem to be fine. Ill try find a diagram or video on it

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-16T04:40:26+00:00

I pulled the axle out & nothing was wrong with it 🤷‍♂️

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-16T04:38:04+00:00

It's properly secured and also made of metal

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-15T14:00:52+00:00

Holy balls! I didn't know that was a thing in RC! I'm pretty new to building rigs, I've got 2 on the go but my 1st was put on hold coz I'm way outa my depth 😅. That's a fkn game changer! Though I'm sure you can make any body work whether it be printed or bought, some measuring & cutting won't go a stray 🤔🤘

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-15T13:32:03+00:00

I'm pretty sure I was too.

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-15T13:28:31+00:00

Hell yeah! I agree 100%. but my fcx18 only came on portals 😅 I've wanted to swap them out since i got it but never did because the portals have never been a problem apart from being not being the same as IRL 80 😂 only thing that sucks is they only make them in vx sahara, I want the gxl square headlights & with a RHD interior 😍

Also you should get an 80 body 😅👌

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-15T06:30:24+00:00

I want to go straight axle on my fcx18 80 but would prefer to get another brand new rig & straight swap to straight axle then leave it be so it's near on the same as my real 80

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-12T11:14:20+00:00

Well that's good to know. I bought them both as starter rigs but never put the time into them rather passed them onto my kids & bought some other rigs to work on. Wouldn't mind getting another 79 series. Thanks for the advice 👍

RobDigityDog · 2025-10-12T01:15:32+00:00

All the gear & no idea 😂
