If needed for more room, would it be okay to use no shims behind sun gear?

The sun gear would be riding on the o-ring. I'm not sure it would hurt. My thinking was initially a bad idea, but now...

After putting the Mugen gasket on the sanded-down diff gear housing, the whole thing feels smooth once again, and sitting on table for four days with not one drop of oil leaking... bonus :D! If I...

The extra shim behind each of the spider gears helped bring back center diff performance. Initial testing with battery pack in buggy felt like I had drag brake on 50% or so. After a lap at mild...

I determined center diff is the cause of some disturbing "grinding" sounds. Took diff apart and checked things out. 1/2 full of fluid, but 100% full of stink :o. Yes, stink. Metal being ground down...

Thumbs up Diff Pinion Gear

After I thought I had the gearbox input cup's setscrew tightened, I realized setscrew wasn't seated on flat spot on diff pinion gear. Why? Because everytime I would push the CVD/input cup onto the...

New issue to work on. CVDs that are delivering the power to the front and rear diffs, have an O-ring that captures the pin. When putting the kit together, I kinda thought uneasy about Associated...

Center Diff Rebuild

Center diff was half full since last rebuild. I got no answers to what may have lead to the small leak. The thrown gunk to the underside of body is not a heck of a lot, but enough to let me know...

Thank You Castle Creations!
