Default locking front axle

i have been driving my cr01 fora few days now and it was all good then today the front axle seems to "lock" all of a sudden, then i put it in reverse and it goes ok fora few turns of the wheels, then it "locks" again and vise versa. it makes a weird clicking sound when driving, i can giv it more throttle and it just clicks a wierd noise and unlocks fora while then locks back up. i thought it was the drive shafts, but that aint it, i dont think. if anyone has any info it would be greatly appreciated. thanks, i just seem to run into problem after problem. maybe its just me, afterall i am the goof that put the damn thing together!! it is an open axle, it aint locked.

You might want to pull apart the axle. You might have a loose screw. It might have come out enough to snag on the axle housing. I had this issue with both my AX10 and my CC01 until I used some thread lock and tightened them down pretty well.

Yup, it might be a loose crew inside the axle. Open it up and make sure you use threadlock on the screws holding the diff together, and on the diff locking pin.
