| Quick question...first time kit build
Hey, I have the axles and the rest of the drive train assembled and bolted to the skid plate. When I pick up the skid plate and let the front and rear axles fully droop, I cannot spin my driveshafts anymore because they are binding somewhere in there until I lessen the angles on the f/r driveshafts. Would this binding be happening in my transmission gears or diff gears ? Is this just too severe an angle for the driveshafts to handle? I'll take it all apart and investigate for myself but since this is my first ever build I figured maybe one of you guys would know or could steer me in the right direction... As a side note, it's being built as a crawler so I think I could hit all my gears with some more grease anyways. Any help and advice would be appreciated. |

Likely too much angle on the driveshafts. They will never get even close to that angle once you have everything all connected.

yep as long as it spins freely when everything is pretty much level, i.e. sitting all flat on a table, then you'll be good as long as you build all the links per the instructions. if you make custom links and try to change the angles of the axles you have to be careful how far you change the angles.
