Granite Granite 3S Tire Wobble?

[BigKid]

Hey guys prepping my kids new Granite for X-mass day. Took it for a quick spin in a warehouse and noticed the wheels/tires wobble. You can grab the wheels and they have play on them where they bolt onto the axle.

Is this normal? I am not at my house with my tools, so I tried removing a wheel with the plastic wrench they give you, that was a mistake.

Thanks guys!

It’s normal. There needs to be a little slop so they don’t bind up.

Great thanks man! I will pack it back up and open the Kraton now

If you are very careful, you can use some shims to take some of the slop out if it is so excessive that it doesn’t drive straight. But some slop is ok.

Thanks. We will see how it runs. Not worried to much if it is normal.
