Replace diff plastic locker on everest-10

[gordinho]

Hey everyone, so the plastic locker on my Everest 10 crapped out but when I disassembled, it looks like they put two left drive shafts on it. They sell them as left and right because length changes so I think they assembled two short ones instead of a longer one on the right side. As far as replacement, I found on amazon (Canuck one) two all metal replacements, should I go with hobby park one instead of original for about the same price? What else should I replace while I am at it? This thing hasn't been super durable.. I see some people suggest replacing the whole axle with one from axiom, are they drop in?

I have been meaning to get a zippier motor but wouldn't know where to start, some suggestions I have seen are OOS or are not drop in replacement. Ideally available in hobby shops in canada!

I have some pics but doesn't seem like I can attach them here..

I did the Redcat metal diffs and the metal tranny gears and it's holding up pretty good. Put a 35T Axial motor as well and it gave it more pep and still crawls well. Still running stock servo. I like this little truck, very easy to work on and I think a lot more can be had out of it.
