MESH & PLAY

ear spacing in a drivetrain can be a make or break situation, so it’s important to at least know the basics. RC differentials spin at such high speeds and are subjected to such high loads of stress, so it’s really important these parts move freely with minimal unnecessary movement to avoid damage. To get a truly smooth and reliable drivetrain there will always be some small adjustments required to the differential gear spacing. In order to make these small adjustments we employ the use of drivetrain shims. Drivetrain shims are extremely thin washers used to adjust the spacing between drivetrain components, like differentials and gearing. Let’s take a deeper look at how we can
