Now my diff is prefect!!

Where do you put the .1 shims?

Under the 4 small gears. The shim outer diameter is smaller than the base diameter of the small gear.

Forgive me, I'm a little slow. So on the smaller side of the 4 gears? Like the red arrow in this picture?

Yeah, figured I'd try something new, I was getting pretty bored. I don't have any big races on my calendar for a while, so it's a good time try other things. I also really like the team hanulec is building in the US, lots of quality stock racers doing the same kind of stuff I like to do.

the shim goes behind "drive axle" on the BIG gears. you cannot put it directly behind the big gear because it has a notch. use the 0.1mm large OD shims -sh01.
