Make sure you installed the outer knuckles correctly, if they are upside down they'll bind.

even w/o the knuckles they are hard to turn, the knuckles are correct, the servo works the wheels, and the linkage is far away from the axle housing, did i use enough cramic grease? maby i have the cases to tight, every thing was free until i chinched the screws down...how tight should they be?

thanks for the help bender.

Did you use any shims when you put the pinion in? I usually use alot of grease on mine and I highly recommend getting bearings, not only will it roll smoother but the internals of the axle will last longer.

i didnt use any shims, i pulled them and threw alot of grease in there, its a little smoother, but still feels like something is binding. i pulled the knuckles, and its still there
