I am Barry Wilson ;) so ya guess I know him.

the shims are used inside the dif. the stock shimming the gears are quite loose. I relied on reading it in the rctech thread and a member there suggested it to me because he chewed up gears. the kit comes with spares anyway so I opened the difs when changing the spur back to the stock one and shimmed behind the small gears to tighten things. so far so good and I have chewed a few nubs off my crime fighters allready from digging trenches so I have put some good shock on the difs. even this afternoon running on pavement outside the hobby shop to show a few customers (I was behind the counter babbling and ended up selling a helicopter today too.... oh you'll have to pay her, I don't actually work here)

got a couple converts out of that session ordering their conversion kits now.... Mike you have some more BC customers, and most of the guys are heading down the street to go get capacitors for their escs now too. I can't tell you how impressed I am with adding the caps to keep the esc cool. I ran hard for 15 mins and let everyone check the motor temps and esc. it was about 90 degrees. I've learned a lot of cool things from this forum and from the thread on rctech, but I will never use a fan again I'll tell ya. Adding caps to my Sidewinder now too. it gets hotter than my Mamba does
