Yeh I think that is a modd in his diff..... I have a granite BLX and I only have the 2I see that you have 4 small bevel gears vs. my 2 but the diff rebuild kit only came with two small bevels. The part number you provided doesn't include small bevels. Do you have a Mega or is it a BLS/BLX. Maybe the Mega only has 2 small bevels and the others have 4?
Edit: Ok, now I see what you might have been talking about re: the difference between our two diff housings. The pin channel in yours is shorter which is why the pin in my 2013 spec maintenance kit was shorter than original. This is obviously a superior design in that the housing wall is thicker on the 2013 spec housing. It makes sense now why I couldn't use the pin from the 2013 spec kit in my original diff housing. Since I'm using my original pin, I think I'm fine but ordering up the 2013 spec housing is probably the safest bet.
I keep all the parts, even the old ones and have double checked the shim. It is most definitely a single shim.
I won't run it and I'm going to call Arrma customer support back. I only bought this truck in June (just have to sort out from where) so with a 2 year warranty I shouldn't have to ante up for a whole new diff.
