greetings everyone,

I have slop in the aluminum rear hubs where the hinge pin goes thru. Has anyone figured a way of eliminating this slop?

I've been reading various posts about reducing/eliminating slop in the ball joint using CA. I was wonder if this has been tried on the rear hub hinge pin hole with success. However, I don't see this as a permanent solution as the CA would eventually wear away.

Any permanent solutions/suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Use teflon motor shims. That should work.

Also I have a question. Someone told me the 415 sucks for a carpet car. I know the wheels rub and that it can be fixed. But I'm just wondering if the car was primarily designed for asphault or does the person not know what he's talking about? It seems quite a few of you are running them on carpet. Just curious how you like them? I have most of the parts for a front diff and I have the spool. Also does the Evo4 suspension fix the problem of the wheels rubbing on foams?
