These are the shims for the 6s Arrma diffs, right?
Are there any cheaper alternatives? I'd like to save my money for more expensive repairs, and the govt doesn't allow me to get a job.
My local hardware store doesn't have any shims that would fit

Hmm...

I have a LOT of different shims in many sizes and thicknesses I shim so many areas of a rig. When I look at that link, although I have those but have not used them for diff shimming. This could be me for the 6S and LSD diffs. I have not found a need to shim inside the diff cup. Shimming on the outside of the diff keeps the input gear or think called the outdrive from moving back/forth and has helped me most to keep the inner diff sun/crown gear steady. Last I use the shims Arrma sends once you put the diff back in the diff housing to ensure I have good gear mesh to the crown gear. I also have the diff housing in my hand, so I will shim the input gear to the center-drive shaft to ensure the mesh is good. Done that for my Infraction/Kraton and on the front of my Fireteam. In doing all that, I use various sizes, but for me, hey I could be wrong as two left shoes have not needed to shim inside the cup little to none. Working for me....but who am I

Few times I have added a shim inside the cup, and under the sun gear, I used these:

When I shim outside of the cup in front of the bearing, I used these examples here, but i have different sizes

The only part I like about this video is that he speaks about different diff shims:
