|  ? shimming tlt ring and pinion
Junked a ring and pinion last night. Wondering if anyone has had longer gear life by shimming them. Also trying to find some 5x7mm shims with no luck. thanks |

Hmmm, haven't had the first trouble with my axles yet. Have lost a spure gear but that was because i was running 48pitch as opposed to 32 pitch spur and pinion. Now haven't had the trouble. I would be curious how many people have trashed a TLT axle.

i shimmed mine from the start. when i first put them together they seemed kinda gridy. i think i just used traxxas 6mm shims, i believe they also make 5mm but i had the others. i put one on each side of the diff and one on the inside of the pinion. now nice and smooooooth. have not noticed any problems with a 1mm bigger shim just in case. just have to play around to see where you need to shim. just remember you need alittle lash.

I shimmed mine almost exactly like TXLT did after I stripped a ring and pinion. Its been working a lot better now.
