When it comes to Shimming I take the thinner type and bow them dramatically and then slip them on so the bowing faces away from the component because it places resistance on 2 points, and in this case, when you close the gear case onto it, it should apply even pressure to both sides and the diff can move slightly side to side without ever going too far. This also prevents binding you can encounter by shimming the traditional way.
I also use this technique on my steering systems so there is zero play and I never have a dead zone where the car can veer slightly to either direction. On my cars straight is straight.
Not sure if you guys can picture it but if enough people want I can put together a diagram later.

The Yok ball studs are very thinn and do easily bend, especially when using all the alloy stuff.
The ball cups are ok, especially the gray ones.
Asso ball studs are 1mm thicker and do not bend as quick.
I use the B5 ones only in the rear, in the front its not so necessary.

So im kind of confused here...
What kit should I be buying for astro?
Before I just bought the CA and it was fantastic out of the box, but now that is discontinues with only dirt options left to buy? Really hate to buy a car and then spend money on parts to swap over to the CA in which they used to have

Been trying to figure out the same thing and nobody seems to know what is coming. The only thing known is, everything is now discontinued or out of stock.

the Ca has lots of similarities to the DTM as I can tell. except the rear hubs and a couple other things. the worlds edition is supposed to be released this month i believe. be patient...i wasn't lol. i bought a DT what had a lot of of DTM parts on it and I added some more but shortly there after the DTM went on sale 
but i still got a good deal!

Sadly I still haven't got mine on the track, it is a conversion. (Thanks to Factory Works) Factory Works R/C Motorsports- Whats New
I'm hoping to get this rolling soon. I need to paint the body and get some tires mounted soon. Joe Pilars is the new Team Manager
(who happens to make his home here in Oregon), so I should be able to get some insight and have him drive the truck and get his feedback.
I also plan to pick the brain of Brad Borneill , another local Yoke fast guy and he also has an early truck conversion as well.

The DTM is used on all surfaces. You can tune it for everything. The Worlds Edition was a limited run car. My advice is to get the DTM and grab a few of the aluminum parts that guys run on carpet (bulkhead, bellcranks, ackerman, camber block). Grab the new worlds parts too once they are available.

I'd not be surprised if new DT/CA versions were to arrive in February/March, just like previous years. While the limited Worlds kit was great for customers, such an item will not pay off for the manufacturer and hobbysjops in the long run as people will not buy many option parts.

I guess they will release a new model with the updates from the worlds car. Just like they did with the B-Max2 MR.
I just get the updated parts and update my DTM

Absolutely! When the DTM hit the shops, it felt like a bummer compared to the well-rounded packages of the previous YZ-2s. The YZ-4SF seems good value for the money, so there is hope!
