A couple of pages back u put a pick of ur gear diff in the car.. there is not that much slop.. only a couple of mm's..some shimms would work ok.. just not wide ones.. thin like the hot bodies diff shims..
yes i did, but after looking at the car and running it...the outdrives were not actually supported by the bearings - so the car had a ton of drag

I need to measue the diameter of the outdrives then try to hunt down some bearings..

it will work and has great potiential - but you need to replace the bulkhead bearings with smaller inner diameter bearings to REALLY make it work
