Heres a Wiki explaining diffs, hopefully this brings some insight.

I actually want to know a proper way to lock MA stock diff myself. Wiki is nice, but it answers nothing in terms of actually doing it to the RC, torr. Also, I managed to bust the teeth on the inner gears, so will this fk up locking procedure or can I carry on without replacing the gears first?

well, if yuo're looking for permanently locked, then some superglue will get it done easy. no replacing internal gears. but if you want it not to be a permanent thing, then you'll have to replace the gears and take some rubber o-rings and get them to lock movement from the inside. kinda like an LSD

Thanks D, glued it shut since I might as well upgrade to alum ball if I'm not happy with 1 locked and 1 open gear diff. I highly doubt anyone makes aluminum inner disk and spider gears without which this diff will crumble under 30k rpm motors and 20 slicks.
