has anyone found play in rear axle?
if you have ive used 4 of the 6 spacers in a packet of AE spacers made for the rc12 rear axle 'axle shims' and its now perfect

Some axial movement of the rear axle is normal and does not seem to hamper performance. Some of us shim and some of us dont...... no real difference. I know it doesnt 'feel' right though.
