My wife got me a kit for my birthday 
I emailed Tekno about whether I have the correct diff shims in the kit, but I don't expect a response until Monday at the earliest. I'm dying to start the build. Anyone know how I can tell?

When I opened the box she said "Where's the motor and wheels?"..."For what I paid, it should come with a motor and wheels." Hehe, I am lucky though!

The bad ones are 11, 75mm and the good ones are about 17mm.

Differential Shims
Thank you. Mine are 11mm -- the wrong ones. I looked back at the pics again, and now I can see that the 11mm look like regular washers, but the new 17mm look more like small fender washers.
FYI, my wife bought the kit from AMain on 2/24, so there are still kits out there with the wrong diff shims.

I broke two this weekend. No huge crashes, just normal racing mistakes. I'm parking mine until someone comes up with a solution. I can't risk bending at $125 chassis at this point. I tried the longer screw after I broke the first one. Didn't help at all.

This has been covered, we are replacing the diff cases for anyone that has broken them. We had a batch of them that were injected at the wrong temperature. Please contact our customer support and they will be happy to help. Thanks!
are there problems we first time buyers need to know about :confused

Oh ok, I thought that was just for the ones that had the ears break where the shock tower ties on. I didn't know you were covering the ones damaged by the brace screw ripping out. My apologies. I will shoot them an e-mail in the morning.
