Shimming r4 diff
So far this is how we shimmed the diff, we put a .3mm shim5x7 inside the diff on the outdrive shaft on top of the supplied shim
Before the pin install. So far no problems after half a gallon.
We also shimmed another diff diferently but won't be able to test till next weeks race in conn. We will post the results here.

Hey guys,
I also built 2 new diffs for yesterdays club race. I doubled the standard shims on each side. Rear diff felt a little tighter but they ran fine all day.
Qualified 2nd and won the 30min A final by 3 laps.
I pulled apart the diff I blew 2 weeks ago and it had snapped the main crown gear where the pin sits. I did have a big accident with my car during that meeting so I think that may have contributed.
Yesterday I had no accidents at all and diffs ran fine all day.

What's happening with that car? I haven't see wet any good race result. Many companies have release a lot of optionals for many cars but nothing for R4 wet.
The car does not need many optional. Just an aluminium brake holder and....harder diff gears.
I read many dissapointing comments for the rear differential and i didn't see any interest fron kyosho.
A lot of racers who waited to buy a new car (like kyosho R4) now are confused.
I hope to see a solution very soon.
Also I hope to see burst of victories.....

That's why Im heading towards getting a 733 evo.
If I was to get the R4, I would scour this thread to see if there is anything else I would need to do apart from making sure the rear diff is nice and snug-fitting.

I have only had 2 issues with the car. The first was the clutch nut coming loose. Easy fixed with some loctite.
The 2nd issue was the weak diff gears. I have been told that the hardened diff gears will be released by Kyosho sometime in June.
In terms of getting a 733 I think you will have more problems than this. I had a 733 last year for about a month and the list of problems with the car were almost 2 pages long.
