Thanks Graywolf, total victory with that locker from eBay. Fit perfectly. I have the tranny back together. And thanks Lukedavis, your drilling plan was totally my backup.

Awesome! Glad you can finally rip it around as God intended... On electric power! lolThanks Graywolf, total victory with that locker from eBay. Fit perfectly. I have the tranny back together. And thanks Lukedavis, your drilling plan was totally my backup.
I’mFrom your mouth to God’s ear, Graywolf. First attempt resulted in deficient performance. Then the Revo came to a stop unbidden. At first I thought I blew the transmission. But it’s fine. Thankfully. Turns out I had the slipper clutch too loose, at least I think so. Two of the three pads flew off! So now I have the new pads to install and I’m going to tighten the slipper clutch and try again. Btw, at least with the tools I have on hand, it seems you have to pull the tranny to adjust the slipper clutch. And that transmission has been in and out so many times, that I’m worried about stripping the screws, and I’m praying every time. Anyway I’ll report back after I run the truck with the tightened slipper. In the meantime,if any of you have any comments or suggestions, let me know! As always I very much appreciate all the kind help on offer here. I wouldn’t have got this rc running without it! And thanks again especially to you, Graywolf.
Thats what I have most of my rigs set at. They will slip but not easily.The slipper is different from one rig to another. Most at only 3/4 turn out would be more like a locker
With it fully locked your going to be prone to drive line breakages, especially if you land any sort of decent jump on throttle.Thanks guys. And, yea Sir, I saw the Traxxas instructions. I posted a new thread on this too. Hope I’m not wasting folks’ time. I think I’m going to try locking it down tight, no slip if possible, and run it carefully on 4s again.
Graywolf, I know. BUT for now I’m going to run 4-5s only and will take it a lot easier I bet, than you would, lol. Like the little old lady from Pasadena, if you remember that song by (I think) Jan and Dean. Like my Scat, kind of. I DO run it hard from time to time, but only briefly and I never race ….
Glad you got it all sorted!Update: with significant help wrenching from the guys at my LHC (I have arthritic hands), and borrowing brainpower from HERE, and there, I believe I’ve achieved TOTAL VICTORY. Well, except for chronic (so far) loosening if the pinion. And yes, we’ve applied blue loctite …. Anyway, it runs well, calling it a win.
Yeah but that’s a pain in the rear, tho. It didn’t work out too well for me. That twenty bucks was money well spent.he could do the one way conversion for free by drilling through first and second gear on this gear set:

Drill through the clutch set into both gears and go all of the way through and put a nut and bolt and that will lock it right up. It will also alow you to go in reverse as well.
I thought you said you got it to work?I never was able to get the thing to work. I’ll be listing it here in the classifieds once my 90 day probation is over. The truck will come with my solemn, ironclad personal guarantee to NOT run until a better man than I can sort out this tranny. I’ll also consider trades, anyway, I’ll be listing it soon.
