Adjustment shim for Mini-Z AWD drivetrains

The AWD-13 high shim is an aftermarket spacer tailored for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD platforms to change the vertical offset between AWD parts and the chassis. It helps fine-tune alignment and reduce the chance of gear binding where small height differences affect component engagement.

Installation notes: place the shim at the contact points where the gearbox or differential housing meets the chassis to add clearance. Start by loosening the mount fasteners, position the shim on the seating faces, check alignment, then tighten to factory torque and confirm unrestricted driveline rotation.

Tuning notes: apply the high shim to correct slight misalignment, remove undesired contact, and explore driveline geometry adjustments during setup work. Even modest thickness changes can influence traction and drivetrain smoothness on polished track surfaces.

Which Mini-Z builds benefit most from this shim?

Models with tight chassis-to-gearbox tolerances, particularly MR-03 AWD layouts, will see the most benefit when small clearance changes improve gear mesh.

Will the shim affect drivetrain noise?

Properly fitted, the shim should reduce binding and can lower noise from poor gear engagement; recheck mesh after fitting to ensure preferred noise levels.

Do I need to change differential settings after use?

Major differential setup changes are usually unnecessary, but small driveline geometry shifts can alter traction balance so verify handling and tweak settings if required.
