Bit of a question guys:

I'm assembling my RC8be and I have two questions: (fairly small)

Please reference the PDF instruction manual link:
http://teamassociated.com/pdf/cars_a...eft_manual.pdf

Page 9 Steering Block - when the CVA bone is secured in Steering Block, well, my left spins fairly freely, the right a bit choppy. Is this a big deal considering there will be 32k rpms pushing this? (I thought I might have got lock tite in there, maybe a drop onto the bearing, but barely anything if anything at all... I'm 99.9% sure no effect.)

Page 10 (the big question):

When the steering block is inserted into the caster block is there supposed to be any play side to side with the Steering block? I did insert the key bushing properly. The side to side play isn't exactly free flowing and the screw moves that secures the block bushing.

a. should there be any play in this?
b. and if there is some play, (movement side to side) does it matter?

From what I gather the steering block inside the caster shouldn't move. At all. But there is a little play. Is this a big deal?
