Vertical spacer for Mini-Z AWD drivetrains

The AWD-13 high shim is a dedicated spacer for Kyosho Mini-Z AWD cars, intended to adjust the vertical relationship between drivetrain assemblies and the chassis. By restoring correct spacing it helps reduce binding and improves gear engagement where tolerances are slim.

Fit the shim between the drivetrain stack or differential housing and the chassis mounting points to gain clearance. Loosen the related fasteners first, locate the shim on the seating surfaces, verify alignment, then torque the hardware to spec and confirm smooth rotation of the drivetrain components.

Practical tuning advice: use the high shim to address minor misalignment, prevent unwanted component contact, and trial different driveline geometries during setup. Small thickness differences can change drive feel, especially on smooth circuits where Mini-Z AWD tolerances matter.

Yes, dry-fit the shim and rotate the driveline by hand to confirm clearance before final torque. This avoids having to loosen hardware again after full assembly.
No typical machining is required if the shim matches your chassis layout. If adjacent components interfere, minor trimming may be needed but check fit carefully first.
Make one change at a time and test on a representative surface; listen for reduced binding and note any changes to traction or drivetrain smoothness when adjusting shim thickness.
