I would think that if you bypass the front slipper with the exotec front drive locker you would run into problems? At least with the front coupled the whole system still has the slipper to protect it...again like you said as long as the correct settings are ran. I have noticed the previous posts regarding the issues with the rear idler. Hope this doesn't become an issue.
Does anyone run esc timing/cheat on their 550s? I'm running a tekin 550 5.5 and mmp. I also have a 1410. I like way the tekin feels a bit better but I'd like a bit more power. At $10 a pinion I'd like to try timing rather than gearing first...
Well I've found that running the exotek front locker puts less stress on the drivetrain because it still allows the rear slipper to be set just for the rear tires. The front drive train has a belt to absorb the shock of hard acceleration and breaking. It also puts down max power to the front without having to run the overdrive pulley in the front. Also makes the truck more stable... At least in my experience.
