the Asia version will differ from the US/Euro version.
the Asia version will have the 2mm chassis instead of 2.5mm
This is what RcModel quoted me this week:
don't know how much shipping will be to the UK.
the US/Euro version has not been released yet... hopefully by end of this month or next.

How many shims and where did you guys place them to get the correct amount of backlash and freeness of the rear diff? Or is it different with every kit? -JB

every kit is different
The instructions are a starting point...stock shimming may work or you may have to shift a shim one way or the other.Best way is to try it different ways and see what's best for your car.

Yeah the way I shimmed it was- starting w/ the long diff half, slvr-bearing-slvr-gld-slvr-bevel gear-gld-bearing. Worked out PERFECT- n- SMOOTH AS BUTTER 
Soon as I put my electronics in and paint up the Stratus 3, I'll be ready to put the new ride into action

r/c-zombies,
Since, I don't recall getting an answer to my earlier (many pages ago ) question and we now know, that the new Pro 4 shocks are using the competition o-rings and bladders... what is the difference between the various types (competition 30, 40, 50, 60) ?

Do shims for the diffs and transmission come with the kit or do people buy them seperately? If it does not come, then where to buy?

Low Frition Orings in 30,40 and 50
Competition Orings in 40, 50 and 60
and
Competition Bladders in 40, 50 and 60
They are of new compound materials to prevent swelling due to oil absorption. Thus minimizing damper shaft resistance.
And the low frition and competition orings are of different material too. I believe the competition ones have less shaft resistance, but it doesn't comes in hardness of 30.
All these oring and bladders of different hardness are used to tune the rebound speed of your shocks.
Eg, I presonally wants faster rebound, so I use 30 Orings and 60 Bladder.
Just my 2cents

JB. Did you buy this kit recently. I notice you have the MIP CVD's and not the Uni CVD's. I thought only the original kit that was released had the MIP's

. Can I say that?
I'm definitely a Pro4 fan though, although we'll see how it stacks up to my beloved Rayspeed
