You must really enjoy a challenge, I never seen someone fight around a shock like that in my life, it’s one little screw to just get it out of the way 😂

Was looking for exactly these kind of videos for my Mojave. I’m going to be re-oiling all my bearings and wanted to dig into the diffs for the first time since getting the truck about 4 months ago. Wanted to know what to look for and how to fix anything that should be fine tuned straight out of the box. Haven’t had any diff issues yet but want to avoid any problems in the future. Thanks again for putting the time into this video it’s going to be a huge help

Recently got a kraton 6s v4 as a roller that someone has put most of the exb stuff on it as well as some rpm goodies but hasn't put any shims in yet as they were going to upgrade to exb diffs im not doing that yet so wanted to shim it before I use it and been trying to work what shims I need and just come across your vids there going to help massively 👍👍👍

Thanks mate you saved me from pulling the entire back of the car apart

Had to go with 2 extra in the rear and just 1 extra in the front. Seems to have stopped a lot of the play.👍

Nice 1

I have watched all your shimming videos, fantastic content, Thanks for taking the time to make them, they are so easy to understand, I have watched, Arrma 6s Diff Pinion Shimming ARRMA KRATON 6S V4 DIFF REBUILD AND SHIMMING And this video, I have decided to get a Arrma Typhon 6S Version 5, Version 5 because hopefully they have addressed some of the quality issues unlike the version 1 Kraton EXB, Mainly because i think the other truggies and monster trucks are a lot heavier and will wear out faster than the the lighter Typhon, Do you know if the diffs on the Typhon V5 will use the same shims as you have linked to in all of these videos ?.

Thank you for the support, yes I believe all shimms sizes are the same just the gears are now hardened to last longer on the v5. The typhon is an awesome buggy and probably the toughest out there due to smaller arms and wheels putting less stress on components so very good choice 👍 😀

@@bournemouthrc4371 Thanks for the reply, i asked Modelsport and they didn't know anything about the shimming, I believe the V5 Typhon comes with some shims in the box now but only 1 type, It is a shame Arrma don't do a better job at the factory so it can be run straight out of the box, Thanks again for all this information, i am just getting back into the hobby after a 20 years break when i had a Tamiya Grasshopper with nickel metal hydride batteries that took forever to charge.

I have a notorious 6s v5 blx it won’t pop willies no more do I have to do this and for the snapping sound to go away

How do I get to that pinion gear tryna change mines rn

Would this be the same process for the front input gear as well ? Thank for the vid.

Ty sir. Was hoping to replace it without taking the motor out Thanx.

What about putting a shim on the right side to help keep dirt and grime out? That's where I'm having problems.

@bournemouthrc4371

I wouldn't as that would push the gears away from mesh, I used rubber shielded bearings and it then wasn't a problem.

Do you only shim on one site for a purpose? Like in this video you only do it on the left side it seems.

@bournemouthrc4371

Yes that pushes the crown gear against the pinion to get a better mesh so the gears dont wear out

What rod ends do you run on your shocks?

@bournemouthrc4371

Rpm short rod ends, made for traxxas but fit perfectly to arrma as well

how are you suppose to know how many shims to put in? in your pinion shimming video you used feeler gauges but in this one it seems you were just guessing

which do you shim first... the pinion or the diff into the housing?

@bournemouthrc4371

I would shim the pinion first then you shimm the diff into the housing. This will give you the best fit

@@bournemouthrc4371 you didnt even put any shims on the pinion. you also never explained how you got to the number of 3 shims for the diff. how do you know its shimmed properly?

What exact size are the shims

you never explained how you got to the number of 3 shims for the diff. how do you know its shimmed properly?

5:19 whats its gonna do is attract dirt to your bearing.

Thanks so how hard is it to get to front input gear to shim it

It can be done in place however it's much much easier if you take the front and off

Lol yes put extra shims there and also check out my video for shimming the pinion, if you do both it should last a hell of a lot longer
