Slip diff need shim help!

[superek4]

Mike need ur help, i have built & installed the diff but the gap is 5mm wide, may i know how can i shim it? i have a pix pls look thxs!

I'd get two 16mm x 2.5mm O-rings and insert one on either side.

Or get some 16mm x 15mm x 0.5mm shims...

Or turn some 16mm x 15mm x 2.5mm spacers on a lathe...

won't d shim damage the diff bearing holder or bearings?Where can I get these shims? Is moving d center mount easiler? Just drill 2 holes nearer to d diff?

no shimms are the same outside diameter as the bearing and dont hurt anything.

If you go with shims your going to need a good bit of them.

Do I did to shim both sides or just 1 side will do?

[brushlessboy16]

Sure I will try today thx guys:)

[RC-Monster Mike]

I would shim both side an equal amount.

[superek4]

It needed 8 shim each side I wonder if d bearing sits enough in d mount?

[RC-Monster Mike]

It will be fine - now go drive it already! :)

[superek4]

yes sir! One last question d diff is still moving sideway slightly like 1mm izzit ok?

[RC-Monster Mike]

1mm play is OK. .5mm is better. A little play is better than too tight. Have you run it yet!?

[superek4]

thx, I will run it in d morning now it's 1am in Singapore :) zzzzz. I will post here for the review I m sure I will happy:)

I tried the diff today very nice no more wheelie even on 6s. I was running on slightly damp ground abt med traction. I allow abit more slip, more slip means more sound right?

Do I need to threadlock d screw after I set d slip I want?

I m not sure izzit my gear ratio or I m using a 11T pinion, the speed is abit slower. I will test it again on 13t.

I also notice d motor gets hotter faster.

I was told to use 8x16 bearings sand off the outer sleeves n use it as a spacer as the shims will eat into d housing izzit true?

So far very happy a new tuning tool:)

Sounds like your slipper is too loose.
The shims will be fine in the housing.


Try tightening the slipper a bit until you get your acceleration and speed back
