Specs Of Kyosho Gallop/progress Shims?

[Yonez]

Hi,

Does anybody know what the specs are for these shims?

I need outer diameter, material and thickness.

I've obtained ball bearings, but cannot find the correct shim pack anywhere.

However, it is possible to buy newer Kyosho shim packs on Ebay that should probably work if I can verify them.

This is what the manual states:

Not hugely informative

Which shims? The 6mm shims? I bought a very abused Gallop a few months ago. (you can check it out here, and here)

I can see if it has any shims on it when I get home tonight, but I wouldn't be surprised if they are missing. I'll measure 'em if it has 'em.

BTW, I'd love to see some pics of your Gallop!

Thanks,

Sorry, I lost this thread.

I have a NIB Cox Gallop. The shims are just mentioned as something you need to buy when you install the ball bearings.

The gallop will be built, but not until Christmas at the earliest. I'm in the US for a while and acquiring some projects. But I have all my tools etc in Europe.

Besides building is a winter sport. Summer is for outside play.

Sorry, I forgot about this too. I've just now realized you mentioned that the shims are an aftermarket thing. I very much doubt the one I have sitting at home has the ball bearings added to it. I'll try and take a peek tonight.

Thanks, that would be great.
