Axle wheel spacers help the slop and keep wheels even inside the arches.
Front axle play
I have 3 SCX rally cars, Fiat 131, an Escort Mk2 and a Fiat 124
The 131 has almost no play in the front axle (but still spins freely), the Escort has just less than 1mm and the 124 has just over 2mm.
The 124 looks odd as if pushed side to side the wheels protrude outside of the body. Now I can add spacers or cut the axle shorter so the car looks better or is the 2mm 'slop' an advantage?
Regards,
Alan
