i wouldn't go for a locked front diffs ( but maybe you got no choice because clod don't run sealed diff ) ; in my opinion, diffs can help to handle hits and crashes. it probably helps for freestyle too
Of course I know your monster truck — it is absolutely amazing! Your videos are fantastic as well.

As you noted the clod diffs are open so my choices are limited. There is a ball diff for clods from Integy but I don’t buy their stuff.

So my choices are open or closed....
