I have a BJ4 worlds edition car that has been collecting dust for the past few years. I would like to upgrade it to the B44.1 A lot of things look the same (shocks, diff, ect..). What are the exact differences? Could I simply buy the b44.1 chassis, arms and shocks towers and swap them out with the BJ4 ones?

I had the same problem, shim the diff towards the smaller pinion gear and if the pinion gear moves back and forth that could be bad also, I didn't catch that until 5 gears later, make sure that doesn't move either. Now I like to shim the transmission on the tight side so it lasts a long time.

6 on the gear side, 4 on the opposite. You want no side to side movement of the diff within the housing.

I have also had this same problem except that I was getting damage to both front and rear diffs. I was rebuilding diffs every week. The manual states to put 2 shims on one side and four on the other. I have added an extra two shims on each side. So far the front diff has behaved after 3-4 races. Although the rear has improved I think it still needs more shims. Unfortunately its a trial and error process, you may need to sactrifice a couple more bevel diff gears before you find your right fit.

I can't rember how many shims came in the kit, but I probably added 3 or 4 more over that to get it snug.

Man you guys scared me about the diffs so I pulled mine apart. I have about 15 races on mine now and they still look like brand new!! I guess I'm the lucky one. My concern and only thing I don't like about the car so far is the steering rack. Whats up with all the play when steering all the way left or right? Something just doesn't seem right.
