I'm still kinda new to this but i was wondering if there was a way to have a limited slip or locker in the rear end of my hauler either one or both axles in the rear.

I don't know this for fact, but if the semi uses the same diff gears as the TLT, which I think it does, you can just move one of the spider gears to inbetween the other two spider gears to lock it up.
Can someone confirm that the semi and tlt use the same diff gears?

Do explain? you mean just drop an extra spider gear it self and just let it slap around in the case?

Let me see if I can put up some pictures. I need to take my axles apart anyway.

Tamiya Anti Wear Grease will give a "posi" effect.
If you can find it, the Tamiya Jeep/Jero "G" tree has a nice plastic locker that will drop in.
RC4wd makes a full locker; http://rc4wdstore.com/product_info.php?products_id=684

Sorry, haven't taken my axles apart yet, so I made this instead.

Will the truck go around corners with the rear locked up?

Yes, the truck will still turn. You usually only lose some of your turning radius when you have a front diff locked. In this case, since there is no front diff and your only locking the rear, you shouldn't see too much of a loss.
The nice thing about moving the spider gears, if you don't like it you can change it back.
