got the new chassis on. got all the 10g wires soldered on too. ill let you all know how this heat sink and fan do for temps. i also switched to the new HA shock bodies, the aluminum caps and adjusters went on perfectly and the shocks feel so much smoother. only defect i found on the chassis was where its milled out for the spur gear there is a little hole in the bottom of it from counter sinking a screw on the underside.

Hi guys, got me SCTE for Christmas , now I have read that you should shim the diff in order to stop it form clicking and stuff, I ordered this ones: http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...etric-Shim-Set
But I now know that one are to move to shim the pinion gear, I want the ones that are to shim the crown gear, I mean to move it closer to the pinnion gear to reduce the slop, I'm a little confused with the size, does anybody now what is the part number or the correct size of them?
This shims work? http://www.amainhobbies.com/product_...Shims-8IGHT-20

Bill recommends that or the oem plastic brace, nothing aluminum. I just asked him a couple days ago when I ordered mine.
Does anyone know the size of shim needed for the diffs pinion gear? Or the larger gear? Not the internal diff-action gears. I've searched this thread and couldn't find anything, thanks.
My rear diff clicks when I slam on the brake and the losi manual doesn't show what size shim is needed nor does the first page of this thread. Its getting time to rebuild the diffs anyway, but if anyone knows the size of shim for the pinion or larger gear I would really appreciate it.

Also what is that a RevTech 4 pole motor your running? Because it looks to be a Revtech if so how is it temp and power wise was thinking of buying one. And wtf type of heat sink is that thing I've never seen one that's as large as that one and Im trying to find something along those lines to order
if you don't mind me asking. what kind of track are U running on to use the short stock brace ? That Bill said to use Thanks

To all the new people getting there trucks and reading the thread then having questions about if their Diff's need pins and all these Issues, If you just bought your truck new you will be fine and not have to worry.
I've had my truck for almost 6 months now and It has at least 50 packs if not more ran on it so far. I've took apart my diff's twice and there is no Wear what so ever on anything, Everything looks Brand New. I just switched from the grease to Losi Silicone Diff lube, Makes them super smooth feeling. So if you ordered this truck you dont have to worry and buy all these things you dont need for the Diff's Order a set of Front/Rear Racing Spring Kits with the Money Saved.
All the new people Welcome to a great 4x4 SCT thing is a Beast.

well, I run on a smallish 10th scale outdoor track, mainly. I think driving style and amount of flex preferred have more to do with using one or the other though. Either the stock brace or the composite RC8 brace is the ticket with the BCE, so he tells me. I am going to run the RC8 brace I have since I like it. Mostly I think I just like the way it looks and think people put too much thought into a brace
