The shims are on order to set it up correctly.

Maybe these will work.

They are 10 mm longer.
Fingers crossed.

The hybrid bulks and 1/8 buggy diffs are actually very good. The I had a custom e-maxx that I soild in parts because I wanted to test something new. It was a problematic truck but onec upgraded nothing broke and it was very durable.
What I would like to do before I sold it was getting real 1/8 buggy shocks and also move the center diff mount towards the rear to prevent it being so front heavy (I had RCM chassis and 35mm extension) but I never came that far. I belive, if I would do that it would become a very good truck both for bashing and jumping.
The savage XL is better in stock form than the e-maxx but it also suffers from some issues that never will be solved because of the outdated design on both stock and aftermarked parts.

Testing in my back yard:FAIL.
The rear input to the diff jumped off and the LF wheel came off at the same time.
Maybe I should use RED Lock-Tite for the in put grub screw?
Also the 2.5 mm cross pins at the outboard drive hub blew off some where. I'll put 2.5 mm roll pins in there,instead!
I used 10 K in the rear diff and 100 K in the front differential and it drove OK,until it fell apart.
It's OK if the wheels fall off,but I don't want those pins to fly off.

When I pulled the diffs apart,there was not much diff fluid inside at all.
I filled them up to the level of the cross pins/spiders.
