Default AR60 front hub slop

So I have this highly modified Deadbolt ax10 with sloppy front hubs. The front axle is composed of an Rc4wd ar60 aluminum axle housing, locked up rc spool, vanquish clamping
C-hubs, Strc knuckles, rc4wd cvd axles and dlux bushings.
The problem is, when the wheel & tires are on, the slop is too much. If you grab hold of the tire, you can rock it back n forth. It seems to be the axle is loose through the knuckle bearings. The bearings are fast eddy's.
Any ideas on how to lessen this issue?

thanks

Sounds like your bearings are loose in the knuckle. Or the cvd to bearing tolerances are off.

You need to find the slop first before you can fix it. Pin point where it is.

If the slop is in the bearings, you can put some loc tite on the bearing and it will cure all that slop.
