|  Front wheel play
Just completed my Wraith kit. Is it normal to have "plenty" of front wheel play on the Wraith. If holding the tire/wheel top and bottom you can rock it in and out quite considerably, is this normal for the Wraith and what has people done to reduce it? Thanks Rob Sent from my GT-I9505 using Tapatalk |

Shouldn't be that much slop. Mine are slightly loose cause of plastic links, but you shouldn't be able to rock the wheel back and forth

mine has slop in the bearings as all of my rc rigs do...all are RTR I have replaced bearings, tried bushings and other methods including shims to get rid of it. all of the factory bushings are installed as well. I have come to the conclusion that it is an inherent design flaw and it is not hurting a thing. I have bashed the crap out of mine and no issues of any kind... |

 I highly doubt you're the first one to do this. It happens to the best of us.  | |
