What I'm trying to say is how much vibration in a CVD will you stand or a slightly (barly) wobble in a Wheel?

I guess that depends on if you're talking about on-road or off-road racing, or even just bashing. An unbalanced wheel/tire can be detrimental in a sedan, while an unbalanced tire in an off-road vehicle, though still not a good thing, is less noticable. If your CVDs are vibrating, you might want to check that out! Is the joint wrapped in shrink-tubing? Are your bearings/bushings worn out? It could be a symptom of several things.

no vibrations, and no wobbles. Even in my GT. I keep up on those things and find it runs better, straighter and stays together longer.
The parts used in RC are small and the tolerences are minute so what might feel like a small amount to you is a lot to your car.

i run onroad, so every little detail has to be noticed, otherwise the car will spin out, not drive straight, drive slow, fall apart while driving....;) :D
