Having problems keeping the rear wheel hubs from moving inwards on the lad's Zip Storm (25mm axle). This is despite loosening up everything at the back end (pods, bumper etc), using a soft 970mm axle, soft seat and lowering tyre pressures to 18psi and tightening up the bolts on the hubs as much as is physically possible !

Does anyone have any tips / suggestions to stop this happening ?

The hubs seem to move in approx. 5-10 mm from the circlips on a 970mm axle and then stop moving. Is this just the kart trying to settle into what is the 'least resistance' and should I set the hubs up accordingly, or should I try and stop the hubs moving ?
