ThomasRC Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Tearing down my sabertooth diff's and noticed the front and rear diff have 3 outside shims on the side where the big gear is (next to the bearing) forgot it's proper name. I think this is causing the jamming because its too tight? I know on the bz888 they have 2 shims. Has anyone had any experience with these and if I say put 1 shim on each side would that smooth it out?

Andythecrane Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 I've just serviced the diffs on my sabertooth, and I just left the diffs with the 3 shims. As they felt OK to me for play. Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Strange my rear seems to bind up, front not as bad but still. I want buttery smooth lol Might just remove 1 of the shims.

Andythecrane Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Do you have shims on the inside Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThomasRC Posted April 23, 2016 Author Share Posted April 23, 2016 Do you have shims on the inside Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk there is shims inside the diff but I know its not the diff's because there fine when removed. I've found a video online and I'm going to try 1 shim on each side Sent from my Vodafone Smart ultra 6 using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazp1976 Posted April 23, 2016 Share Posted April 23, 2016 Shimming is to personal taste. My HPI uses 2x 0.2 shims but I have needed to take one out and put a 0.1 in instead before 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
