You want it tight Frankie! Like tight as possible while still rotating freely. A little bit notchy and noisy is fine. NO BACKLASH!!

Which shims are you using? There's 2 different thicknesses in the losi shims. I don't know how many are in mine, but you want it tight. It will wear in and be smooth.
