I looked through some, and didnt get what I was looking for through. Thanks for the helpful post though, appreciate your input.NOOOOOOOOOOO!
ANOTHER SHIM THREAD, Ja Ja!
If I would get a penny for every shim thread I would have about a million pesos by now, lolz
I don't think the new version 6s trucks need shimming. They added some at the factory and that should be enough. For the V3 Kraton and Typhon as well as my Notorious, I added a shim behind each big gear (I call them sun gears). That's it. I bash hard and haven't eaten a diff since I learned how to drive better. If you aren't constantly doing standing backflips, trying to self right your trucks when it's on the lid, or landing under power, the diffs should last a long time.For the people who bash, and drive hard what do you shim and exactly how much do you? Pics would be appreciated.
I have the v4 and my back diff, not the input one but the biggest one got a tooth knocked off, and in the front the bugger one inside the diff lost a tooth.I don't think the new version 6s trucks need shimming.

I honestly was watching your vids and hoped you replied because I thought you had a secret remedy. I do drive like poop and beat my kraton, was just curious if I could prevent this in the future. Already ordered new parts.I have the v4 and my back diff, not the input one but the biggest one got a tooth knocked off, and in the front the bugger one inside the diff lost a tooth.
Can you think of anything that might have caused it? Teeth don't normally shear off out of the blue.I have the v4 and my back diff, not the input one but the biggest one got a tooth knocked off, and in the front the bugger one inside the diff lost a tooth.
My vote is a standing backflip or generally some situation that overtorqued the drivetrain.Can you think of anything that might have caused it? Teeth don't normally shear off out of the blue.
I jump it alot but nothing major.Can you think of anything that might have caused it? Teeth don't normally shear off out of the blue.
Well there are plenty of videos and threads on shimming. The only thing I can add is that you can shim your diffs perfectly and still have them break if you land under power.I jump it alot but nothing major.
I normally let off, but I drive my kraton drinking 9/10 times. Just was curious how you guys beat yours so hard and not have problems or if you just don't talk about them.I jump it alot but nothing major.
