center diff question

[rampage idiot]

I have a noticeable amount of in and out play on the shaft that holds your center diff pinion gear, I have the 4 pin gear setup and the front gear which the shaft goes through your brakes moves in and out a fair amount is this normal?

Yes, it has some play. It is possible to use shims to take the play out of it, but then you need to make sure your center dif mesh is good to avoid premature wear. This is not necessary though. They seem to wear fine as they are.

I just stripped my mt down for cleanup and all was good with center diff b4 I changed the bearings over to the pro spec bearing kit from largescale rc. It seems to be not meshed right at the center diff and pinion. any idea what would cause that. Please respond as i need to get it back together!!!!

Over tightening the gear nut pull the lay shaft. That causes mesh issues.

The bearing that holds the pinion is a hair thinner maybe a mm or 2 should I whim it q little or no

That's the funky bearing. They probably sent you a 10x22x6. You need to shim it.
