does this include the shims & everything i need http://www.jespares.com/catalog/prod...oducts_id=1552 it says "set" so im guessing it does?. also what grease should i use?

I just use the HPI Grease...yes this set include shims and everything you need to replace the stock pot-metal gears.
You'll also just need to download the 18SS manual from HPI, its got instructions on how to install the parts into the diff case.

I do not think it comes with the pinion shims and the only way I know to get them is with the spider gear cup set. I use Harley wheel bearing grease.

Sorry...I meant to say it only comes with the larger shims for the casing itself. No pinion shims...I never actually had to shim the pinion on mine anyway...only the casing...

I have both my pinions shimmed. I do all I can to get the most tooth engagement with out bind and still have a little gear lash
