Out of the box, you can lock the front diff only or lock both diffs together but you can't lock the rear diff only. This is not a good setup because with the front diff locked, the truck has almost zero steering. I switched the diff servo connectors on the receiver (swapped channels) so that I can lock the rear diff only or both diffs locked together. By locking the rear diff only, the front diff is left open so the truck can steer sharply while having the rear diff locked. This is the way it should have come from the factory. There really isn't a condition where you need to lock the front diff. This is an easy and zero cost mod that I suggest all Summit owners try. Cheers!

I absolutely love my summet I got the much older green one but the same thing. Once you upgrade you are shifting servos and put a slap reducer in the transmission you’re pretty good to go!! Some people have differential problems I never have even though I’m running a brushless system. Just keep on The maintenance. The differentials have a lot of slop inside the chassis which creates a lot of heat in the differential. Are use a little hot glue to keep it tight. Beautiful truck my man!!

Open diffs always have 50/50 torque distribution meaning when one wheel cannot generate torque because of low traction the other wheel gets the same amount of torque (nothing). Locked diffs bias torque so when you lift a wheel off the ground and it cannot generate any torque the opposite wheel on the ground isn't limited and itself will develop all the torque for that axle.

The best free mod you can do to a summit. Swap the channels for the front and rear diffs. If you make the rear diff lock first, you can still turn sharp because the front is not locked, but the rear can push better because it is locked. It really makes the summit a hard to stop on a trail truck.
