First crawler, wobbly wheel. 2017 rubicon SCX 10 2

One of the wheels is wobbly and I switched it to a new side and it still wobbles. I contacted support and they haven't responded yet, can I fix this myself?

The wheels on the back rub the body even after I maxed out the shock adjustments, can I easily fix that?

Thanks!

Can you upload a video of it going slowly? Could be a few things...

Is the wheel wobbling or just the tire on the wheel? For the most part wheels tend to run pretty true on the axle hubs. The tires wobbling on the wheels not so much. Wobbly tires is one of my pet peeves and sometimes you can massage the tire foam to reduce the wobble. I agree a clear video would help.

So the rim is straight and the wobble is in the tire, its not a minor wobble.

Foams then... That's if you're 100% sure the wheel itself is rotating true.. and if it is the foam then there's really nothing to be concerned with.

Literally massage it. The tires on my honcho do the same.
Streach the tire one way, then the other way the on the rim, You should feel the foam moving inside. Try to get it to sit as evenly as possible.

This, but there's nothing actually wrong with it nor should it hinder the trucks performance. Just probably doesn't look great!

I agree it is an aesthetics thing but it is still annoying.

Mine do this too. Very annoying to see them wobble around :)
