yes it will as it wont allow the wheels to "unload" to the front or rear if the other end starts to really get traction. ie wheelies, landings on throttle etc. the shock to the drivetrain will go to each diff f/r without having a way to soften the blow.I locked my center diff, and was thinking about this. Can it make the driveline wear more quickly than with a normal diff?
Were they "locked" or did they have a slipper?The traxxas UDR is locked. the slash platinum comes locked with a center diff as option. while it is not good for bashing locked center diff's are what lots of racers use. My slash was locked for the first 2 years and I never got good enough to drive it like that and keep up so I went back to a center diff. Locking the center diff is a personal preference IMO
That was what I was concerned about. I locked it with an ear plug because the center diff is leaking, but I guess i'll have to fix it.yes it will as it wont allow the wheels to "unload" to the front or rear if the other end starts to really get traction. ie wheelies, landings on throttle etc. the shock to the drivetrain will go to each diff f/r without having a way to soften the blow.
how much harder than having a open diff? i do not know and depending on how much power you have to the vehicle will also dictate how much faster it will wear than standard wear.
I rebuilt the diff and it doesn't leak anymore!That was what I was concerned about. I locked it with an ear plug because the center diff is leaking, but I guess i'll have to fix it.
