Default Wheel Wobble

I've got it on my TA-05 and on my DB01 as well. How do you get rid (or lessen) it? Where does it come from? Is it just unbalanced wheels?
On the DB-01 I have stock wheels with Proline's Dirt Hawg's which are a fairly large and soft tyre, and the TA-05 is running stock tyres and wheels. Any tips or tricks would be greatly appreciated.

The infamous Tamiya wheel wobble...

Make sure you shim everything, axles, hinge pins, etc so that there is the minimum of free play.

Balancing wheels helps too, yes, I've no idea how to do it though...

Hi

Which shim sizes would you recommend for a 511?

0.1/0.2/0.3x3mm. Tamiya makes a set with those in it. Buy two as you'll prolly need quite a few to do the entire car.
