what exactly do you mean by installing shims between the hub and upright, the hub and the upright is the same thing so im not sure what you mean.

i believe the issue is the bearing fit into the alu upright, its not firm, infact if you place the bearings in and pick the upright up without the axle installed they will fall out, inside and outside

so im pretty sure this is where the free play is coming from, ive tried brand new 1050 bearings from Tamiya and also Xray. the issue is still the same, even if i shim inside the upright between

the 2 bearings on the axle the issue still remains.


Hello
The Hub and the Upright are two different parts; (look-up: Tamiya Hub - and Tamiya Upright).

I installed DuraTrax Bearings in the Rear-Uprights of my M-06.
-I removed the bearings then cleaned the Rear-Uprights inside and out.
-They are Really a Bit loose in the Upright; but they Won't fall out.
(Correction: I Didn't install Shims between the Hub and Rear-Uprights). . . neglected-Chassis; I forget/forgot about it.

It just Could be the bearings you chose are a super-fraction too small. . .or the Anodizing of the Blue Rear-Uprights adds a super-fraction of a difference over the Silver Rear-Uprights (?)

Good luck

Stay well
Take care
