I'm headed to the hobby shop to pick up yet another part for this Savage X. A chewed up large bevel gear. Can someone tell me how to shim this? I assume thats what caused it.

Hpi's bullet proof diffs and proper shims will fix the problem.

i dont think they are sealed well enough to use oil. Just use some good grease
