I actually got the exact shims I needed from nitrohouse. It's not obvious from the site, but each package contains 6 shims IIRC. I got 3 packs just in case, so I should be all set for a while, lol. Speaking of which, I would add one 6X14mm shim to each of the F/R diffs. Feeling the play before and after adding it, there is a marked improvement.

Not a bad kit. I like the motor mount and battery tray. IMO, they should also provide a protection plate that goes up against the spur to prevent it from cutting into the battery. The motor mount/CD mounts do look like they have extensions to help prevent this, but I get a little paranoid having a relatively sharp metal-toothed object spinning at around 10k rpm within mere millimeters of the battery. Also, I would have liked to see a little more work done to the top ESC/rx plate to lower the ESC and rx a little.

Thanks. Not as nice as some using Mike's kits but it gets the job done and I was able to address all the shortcomings I could think of - and cheaply (discounting the hours spent making the parts).
