Default Very quick question. Ken Block 1/16 Drifter

If i want to set up the Ken Block as a full time drifter do i lock front and rear diffs or just the rear? Or not required at all, save the lockers for the summit?

I used 125k wt in the rear diff and it did alright. If you need any RPM arms or brand new drift accessories, wheels and plastic tires, I can sell you what I have left over if you are interested. Everything but the arms are brand new.

You'd onestly be better off buying a 1/18 scale drift car you end up dumping a lot of money into the traxxas 1/16 chassis its better to just buy something like a M18 Or A 18R
IMO

the traxxas 1/16 chassis is about as small as i would like to work on, certainly has its shortfalls compared to the 2 mentioned as far as CG and such but i can work on them, and i already have the car. so no need to purchase anything new.

rear diff only?
