I ordered more shims just in case ... obviously want to avoid stripped gears as much as possible, but I'm not sure how much play is too much...I'm new to this buggy and still learning rc, just started in August... Thanks for your help
again no shims inside the fr and rr diffs with new gears. you get thin shims that go over the bearings to adjust slide and 2 for the pinion.

just make sure its smooth just keep an eye on the wear of your gears. once done correctly the drive train works perfectly... below is my GT drive train...
