| yep, i have EP. But I need expert advice on my car. It seems too hard to control. That's why I was asking if anyone is near my location. So I can tweak it before weekend. |

| "Locking" the differential is basically stopping it from working...
You can achieve that by tightening it. I doubt you have a ball diff, so you can use nitro tubing to block to TIGHTEN your differential. That is an effective, but temporary option. I would recommend that at first, so you can find out wether if you like it or not...
Then there are the long term methods... You can fill it up with blu-tac, hard to remove, but unless you are a real maniac it won't open up during the run...And it works well.
You can use JB-Weld (the real worlds way of getting a LSD...For the poorer people)... That is permanent, and will give you no differential action EVER. Unless you are a really, really crazy driver...But still...You'd have to be MAD.
Or...You can purchase a spool. A spool is a device that replaces the planetary gears inside the differential casing, and causes the differential to rotate in one way only.
It's called a diff locker, direct drive (for us tamiya fans), spool, and plenty of other names exist...
How old are you? I'm 14.
Oh wait you're twice my age...Oh well.

| I am...With my TA05, they are a bit tight, but the differential action is fairly noticable. Lot's of people drift (maybe not here, but across the globe) with opened differentials, lot's of people drift with locked ones...
It's all preference, that's why I said tighten it, if you like it, spend a buck, if not, then you just saved yourself time and money.
I used to use my TT01 with opened differentials, then after getting a direct drive, I realised I had been wasting time...The end is MUCH easier to kick out when a spool in the rear.
People agree, people disagree. It's about what YOU like...
Hope I helped.
