Hi James
Thanks you the reply.
Not sure what you mine by putting in diff lock.
As I have not done this before I think you mine put in diff lock before I take it off? not sure y I need to put it in diff lock ? as far as know it should run free with out it just in two wheel drive.
Thanks for your help
Martin

If JM had a penny for every time he's explained this, he would never tell anyone to search the forum

If you don't select diff lock it will not drive the rear prop with the front one missing. Pretty simple really.
