Sorry for the delay but I needed to research this before getting back to you.
1) Yes, we did not include the servo saver bearings. It was not on the list of bearings needed we got direct from Arrma. They have now been added to the kit and the price has been adjusted to reflect the 2 additional bearings.
2) Slop in the shafts. Honestly don't have a clue and need help from you guys to figure it out. We do not have this rig in stock to test.
So far on our end we have checked the bearing sizes in the manual against what we have in the kit. Should be 8X16X5 and 12X18X4. We checked to make sure our bearings that are in the kit match these sizes in width and they do.
A) Can we get help measuring the ORIGINAL bearing width to make sure the Arrma published width is the same.
B) Will someone that got our kit please measure the bearings WE SENT to make sure the width is the same as the factory.
Thanks,
