I wouldn't use them. The shifting mechanism is on the backside of the diff, essentially on the outside of the truck. Once you have linkages hooked up to shift into the locked position that stuff will be hanging in front of the front diff and getting hung up on everything. IMO they should have made the shift mechanism on the axle side of the diff housing. So now are you going to need to use a 4 channel stick radio with these, plus a servo for each axle? Seems a bit much to me, and not very "scale"

yep I'm pretty sure you will. hey I'm not gonna use them either but it is a new product to the scaler community. thought someone might like to see them.

It's definitely a cool concept, I just don't think it was well thought out. Plus I hate stick radios, lol.

I think they look freaking awesome, but I think Joe is right that once you get everything together you're going to have linkage that's all over the place and thus defeating the purpose the scale look.
