Can that super puty really take the torque that goes through those things? (a drift car not a rock climber)

Once your diff casing, spider gears and bevel gears are clean it's time to prepare your locking compound ready to lock that sucker up. We like to use JB Weld or CIG Epoxy putty as they give great, lasting results and a truly positive lock. Some people have used Araldite, Solder, Silicone, Hot Glue, Silastic and many others with great success. The silicone and Silastic options give you a limited slip effect because it gradually gets chewed up by the diff gears and provides resistance rather than prevention of the gears moving. This can be good if you run your truck on concrete or asphalt at all as a positively locked diff reduces turning radius and puts undue stress on your driveline components on surfaces with high traction.
read, dumdums.

reading that much requires an attention span longer than 18 seconds. I peak somewhere around 11.

I don't know about you, but I know me better than anybody.
The worst that could happen? It could break? Put enough of the epoxy in there and let it harden, and I see no reason why it wouldn't last. I've used all types of epoxy, and most will last as a repair as long as you follow directions.

Welded diff is dumb if your not drifting or drag racing.

he said hot glue gun that shit together and call it a day or solder! *looks for my rosin core solder....
so what happens when you have hardened chunks of jb weld floating around in your fluid? the same as hardened chunks of metal floating around in your fluid?? hrmmmm
i'm gonna have a scotch tape lsd and kick ass in D1
elmers ftw!
Dave =]

Masking tape diff = D1 win.
jizz diff. just save up like a months worth of ejaculatory. replace your fluid with it and give it about 2 days to cure. now that's D1!!

he is a tool... i drive my 240 with a welded diff on 275's and the car doesnt even make a noise... it just turns
i like my welded diff for the following reasons
Predictable.. i know what the car will do every single time i clutch kick or e-brake or whatever..
Cheap... free if you have a welder
no dealing with wearing out diff clutch packs, or changing the fluid..
oh, and that article is on a rc car incase any of you fuckers paid attention
jb weld can barely withstand the torque of tightening a bolt, much less moving a car

yea he is a tool. American truck guy. Thinks, by technicality, that any import with a mod done to it is a ricer.
but he is also the same guy, who wants to be diesel tech, but didnt know what a wastegate was....
