|  rear slop
I'm sure most of you have noticed the side to side slop in the rear axles. I'm looking for tips on removing it. |

I just used 5x8mm teflon washers from traxxas to get rig of the slop, you get 20 for $2.00 (TRA1985) and I used 4 on each side.

I didn't do anything. This thing would still kick a$$ even if it had slop in every single screw. Seriously though I used some Kyosho shims (no idea which) on each side. |

I shimed the rear with Axial shims from the AX10 straight axle kit. A total of .7mm on each side.

a shim is just a thin washer. most likely the washer will be to thick.
