|  Axle Slop
Both my front axles and rear axles allow the wheels to move before engaging the gears. I have the CVD's up front and the straight axle in the rear and metal diff lockers. From tearing the axles apart it seems as though there is a little wiggle room in the metal diff locker. Is this normal? This causes issues when I am in an area where I need very fine control over the movement.

After locking a few of these axles with different setups. I have come to see that it is gonna happen no matter what. I have used all three top lockers(losi, HR, and RCBros). All of them move some. I haven't gotten into any tight areas to have a problem with it out here though. Sorry to burst your bubble. But I thought I would chime in.

Theres alot of play in the ring and pinion gears. Try shimming your gears so it moves the r&p closer together. I did my rear axle and it made a big difference. my front will roll about 1.5" and the rear only about .5" |

Stupid question time! What do you use for shims, and do you put then inboard or outboard of the bearing?
