I'm shimming the outer race, but I found something interesting...13x16 are you shimming on the inside? What I found was 8mm.
TRB went out of business? I don't see that mentioned on their website https://trbrc.com/I did with these.. just realized they are TRB's and they went out of business, and I thought I never purchased any TRB products!!

I'm shimming the outer race, but I found something interesting...
I was messing around with different brands of hubs I have and the stock Arrma wont let me use the big shim. Aluminum and Mugen "compatible" hubs I can use a 13mm and conserve my 8mm supply because I use a lot more of those.
I don't want to shim the diff just the axle stub at the hub. This was common when I raced my sc10. Its not putting any extra pressure on the bearing.TRB went out of business? I don't see that mentioned on their website https://trbrc.com/
You want to shim out the bearing with the shims like on the outer race of the diff bearings,you don't want to shim the axle from everything I have been told.

No you use the shims like the diffs use they are the same size and fit right behind the bearing.I don't want to shim the diff just the axle stub at the hub. This was common when I raced my sc10. Its not putting any extra pressure on the bearing.
I can't remember the exact reason or where I even read it anymore.This seems silly.. a shim is a shim no matter where it is placed.. to tight of a shim stack on the outer or the inner will yeild the same result..
It would not matter if I shim out the bearing or shim behind the hex. I also have vitavon hubs with over sized bearings so if the shim you are talking about fits the stock bearing it will not work.No you use the shims like the diffs use they are the same size and fit right behind the bearing.

I was just saying that you can use those shims, I know my Kraton EXB came with some spare ones in the hardware bag so most people will already have that size on hand anyway, no need to look for or buy other sized shims.It would not matter if I shim out the bearing or shim behind the hex.
True. Thanks for the suggestion but I have oversized vitavon hubs.I was just saying that you can use those shims, I know my Kraton EXB came with some spare ones in the hardware bag so most people will already have that size on hand anyway, no need to look for or buy other sized shims.
Where did u put the 4mm shims!? And i was bitching about the slop in my exb when I first got it.. let me know when u figure something out on the turnbuckles!!I almost ordered that same TRB kit on amazon. Went with kyosho from amain though because I got a few other things.
I got most of the slop out of the suspension with some 4mm shims I had. Now once I get these 8mm shims it will be pretty tight except for the rod ends on the turn buckles. Anyone know how to tighten that up?
I put the 4mm shims on the front upper a-arm pins and the rear lower hub screw/pin. I am going to try some hot racing pivot balls and see if they fit better.Where did u put the 4mm shims!?
