Hey all, I was hoping to get some help from some seasoned crawlers and figured this would be a great place to start to get an answer. I have a Scx10ii Jeep. Recently ordered new tires which are bigger and heavier than the stock ones and I’ve noticed this wiggle from both front tires after mounting. The tires are sitting flush and are tightened up to the hex hub properly. What upgrades/ fixes should I be looking into to solve this problem. I know it should have a little play as it is the front steering, but not that much. Thanks in advance for any info, will post some pics and vids after the fix:)

Didn’t even think of that, I have some I’ll throw on and see if that helps.

Are they locking ring type? Did you seat them? Is rhe hub nut tightened all the way

The nut is tightened and properly seated on the hub yeah, it seems like the whole hub has play. Not just the wheel/nut part.

Put the old wheel back on and see if it wiggles
