We all had slop issues with the axle being a bit too small (have you calipered it?). When we went to xrays aluminum axles (which weight about half as much as the 3 racing ones) the slop was reduced greatly.
Bump stops are still good though as EPA wont help a bit when you hit something.

Nope I've not calipered it what i did do tho is replace the bearings which made it a much tighter fit than they orignally had and reduced slop quite abit (they are as good a Xray fitting now) it may have just been luck as for the weight well the 3 racing are heavier but with a tuned 380 in there I doubt it's going to make any difference.
I took her for a drive last night after fitting her up with the bling bits Looks wise i think the Xray alu driveshafts ( i got them on the front) look better with the 3 racing hubs. and the atomic titanium turnbuckles are awesome.
As for how she drives, she's still a bit skittish on corners and when she has grip will easily wheelie (Grip is a massive problem) she will spin the wheels even when going from 50% throttle to 100%.
It's tempting to put a massive pinion and go for high speed, At the moment I'm running a :-
32000 RPM motor, 12 Tooth pinion, 7.2V Intellect pack, and the MT wheel which are 30% bigger than the M18T's wheel (and I don't think that's including the tyres. I think the motor's a 6volt varieity
I'm reconing she's getting close to 30MPH I just need a long strait than I can get her upto top speed.
