Tell me about your examples.
Now, I've also been bad, and tighened up things to the point they had binding. That is probally more detrimental than having slop. It at least makes servo behavior funny....
Read through the Tamiya Mini Cooper thread and you'll see many discussions about how the M-Chassis cars tend to work better with a bit of slop. Shimming it can often make it handle unpredictably, even if it isn't binding.
