511 drive shaft shims

[MHeadling]

Does anyone happen to know the part number for the little drive shaft shims on the 511?

They are little cnc machined silver ones, I need 4 x of them as the car im working on hasnt got them fitted and the drive shafts at the end of the outdrive! :mad:

Are these the right thing??

Tamiya 9804246

Also the car I'm working on has rear outdrives with lightning holes in them? Are these a Tamiya option part? They are a bit worn so need replacing.

Are the 501 diff outdrives the same as the 511??

Think your outdrives are 3Racing ones.

511 outdrives same as 501X

Part nr for spacers are correct. (I suppose you mean the ones on the wheel axle?)

Thanks fredrick!

Yes it's the wheel axle shims that go on the inside of inner wheel bearing on rear hub, ie push's driveshaft into out drive a bit more

Are there ones available thinner than these?

I ask as the rears on my car are perfect fit but there is a little play on the fronts which on any other car I'd shim out. I don't have any 5mm shims though only whatever size the AE wheel axles are :(

Guys

There's a 5mm Shim set from Tamiya #53587

Comes with 10 each of 0.1, 0.2 & 0.3mm shims

Perfect for shimming everything out the driveshafts, and still avoiding binding.
