Hey Rich - I was reading your him post again and noticed you are using 5x8 on the inside and 5x10 on the outside. Why?

The Pinion Shaft Bearings are seated in a SLOT in the plastic Diff cover......
If I remember correctly, the larger diameter shims would rub on the casing, and cause some Binding, in that particular spot.
P.S.
If you add up the Shims I used, it comes to 1.3mm.....I left SOME play in there too.
That doesnt really Sound like an excessive amount of Slop, but it IS enough to play Havoc when your pinion gear is backing On and OFF of the ring gear.
I caught it before any Damage was done, but it WOULD have damaged the gear teeth if I had left it the way it was.

RE: my himoto is messed up frist time outa box
I need 1 of these! Where do you get spare parts? An extra set of front steering links i.e. to upgrade to 4 wheel steering? It's really killing me that there are no upgrades yet. I guess I can wait. Polished all aluminum axle case, steering blocks and stuff would be rad! I really want to get into crawlers and debating to get Himoto or axial? How sweet would this crawler be with a scale body and all aluminum diff cases? ;-)

Himoto Spare parts are found[link=http://www.himotoracingusa.com/]here.[/link]
I dont know for Positive,,,,but from Lurking in the Crawler Threads, I Know that a LOT of guys build Custom Rigs from Mixing and Matching a lot of different Kit parts.
I would not be surprised if a lot of Axial parts fit on the Himoto, and Vice Versa.
I KNOW some folks put Entire Axles into other kits, or build kustom rigs from the ground up, starting with their favorite axle...
Eventually,,,,we will learn to Customize the Himoto Crawler....Why not be the First to Do So?!?

RE: my himoto is messed up frist time outa box
Thanks eveyone! I don't even have it yet... The main upgrades I want for it are cosmetics, I've spent hours researching and it does'nt need anymore performance it's all there. It would be sweet if they made aloy center gear box, axle cases, steering block, and C-hub. That's really all I can see that I would change. I don't think axial's axle cases would fit, from the specs Himotos are wider. I'm sure someone sooner or later that's craftier than I am will make em'. I just saw your video Kuppler. That's what I was looking for too... Did you get it from the seller? I see two people that sell these on ebay 1 from NY, and 1 from Texas. I don't think either of them have parts listed? Is there a website?

RE: my himoto is messed up frist time outa box
By the way thanks for the link. I'll probably pick something up from you. I just sold my last nitro truck and traded the rest, to someone here actually who I have'nt heard from. LOL! I just have a Mini LST2 now that's in pieces waiting for parts. I've seen some sick scale crawlers and I want one. I'll start out with one of these. The Bruisers, and all those other ones are way too heavy on the price tag.
