Default axle assembly help

I finally got to start on my scx today and was wondering if you are supposed to be able to spin the axle by hand once assembled. Mine do not, and that doesnt seem right. Any help is apreciated thanks

Make sure you didn't tighten the axle cases too tight.....loosen up on them and try it.

Make sure ALL the bearings are seated COMPLETELY. Mine was tight at first too, even with everything done correctly. There is that little warning in the directions telling you to DOUBLE CHECK THE PINION BEARINGS if it is too tight.

Also might want to make sure that the pinion gear is pressed all the way in, it sometimes takes a bit of pressure to seat it fully.
