How much play should there be for the front and rear hubs on a new Typhon V3?

I noticed this first thing and it seems a lot compared to my nitro lightning buggy. The servo arm has no slop as far as I can tell.
 
All my 1/8th scale Arrmas have play at the hubs. I actually just ordered some 8mm ID / 13mm OD shims that I plan to put between hub and wheel bearing to take up some of the slop. For some reason, I could only find distributors in China with shipment times of 1 month.
 
I find aprox. 3mm of slop occurs between the inner and outer wheel bearings. Slop out the box! I use external diff shims behind the outer wheel bearings and the bearing seat inside the hub to remove 99% of that slop. I do that on all 4 corners. Works for me. Its as slop free as my Tekno MT410 now. Just don't over shim it. Add shims one at a time until you see that the hex pin wont slide in. Then remove that last one shim, and the pin should slide into the hex hub. Did I make sense?? I hope this is what you are trying to solve.
