I imagine these will change your overall reduction ratio compared to the stock diffs right?

Yea, they will change the gear ratio. These are the truggy gears in this set. Mike is making them with either the Buggy 13/43 or Truggy 10/43 gears in them. I got the truggy gears cuz I just got done installing a HB center diff like Dafni's old setup and I wanted to lower the overall ratio since I dont have the transmision gear reduction any more. This will let me run a better motor pinion range.

Thanks

They are actually the shims I had for the maxx and revo diffs. The output shafts for the HB pinion is turned down to the same diameter as the standard revo pinion shaft. That allows you to use the stock revo drive shafts if you want. The shims are the 6x9x.5mm shims from Traxxas. So if you have shims around from your old revo or maxx diffs your all set.
BTW 2nd diff only needed one .5mm shim to mesh perfectly. Both are built now. I'm gonna break them in with a drill tomorrow night and then recheck the mesh before I install them.
EDIT: CORRECTION The shims I used are .25mm thick. So first diff took two .25mm shims and the 2nd diff took one .25mm shim. These are the ones i used. http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDEA8&P=7 FUnky how the package is labled. Looks like it should be .5mm shims, but they actually measure .25mm.
