To shim the diff means to take up the slop in the gear mesh. So you don't strip the gears as easily. You could also look at the new XSS diffs they have an aluminum diff cup and it is blocked and shimed, still might need some shiming but not as much.

you can use a combo of kyosho diff parts and stock bevel/pinion i think to make a much stronger diff. search around forums for it
