3. Put the pinion gear assembly in.
4. Move the shims around until you just get a little bit of back-lash between the crown gear and pinion.
5. Rotate the crown gear checking the mesh all around.

Each diff can be different as there are slight tolerances between each part.

All of my diffs have no shims on the metal crown gear and either 0.1 or 0.2mm on the case side.

Basically I'm running the mesh as loose as I can..
Really good guide there Adam !
This is exactly what I did on my diffs and the feels super free.

Adam I emailed over last night about an issue with my lipo holder please could you find out what's happening ?
