I'm aware of "Tamiya slop," but the car didn't do this before. There is a bit of play in the suspension and hub carriers, but nothing out of the ordinary in my experience. The only other thing I can think of is a problem with the servo, but that is a fairly new unit as well (KO Propo).
Any ideas?
Yes, the Tamiya servo safer is super sloppy... If you have any spare TAmiya High torque servo savers around, you can us the metal spring collars to wrap around the stock Mini Servo saver.
Or another alternative is to use a cable tie to tie around the servo safer, don't tie too tie, so that the servo safer still works somewhat.
