I have read this entire thread and digested all I could, but I have apparently missed a few things:
First: what are people doing with the rear? I think I'll need ~2mm per axle to clean up the slop. Or:
Second: What replacement rear axles are recommended? 417 axles - is that what I saw recommended?

Yes you need to remember to install the part as mentioned above to reduce the inward and outward play!
However there is still quite a bit of play and I had to use a good few 5mm shims to reduce it further....I also have 5mm clamp wheel hubs. Only axle you can get as a hop up (if you want to be TC legal) is the M Chassis reinforced free wheel axle set, basically a machined part and thus harder than the kit included stamped out axle. You are still going to have the same play though as it is the same dimensions.
