Wrong size shoes?
Dug out my old D4 Cyclone and Im finding the front wheels locked up!
I actually thought I had blown the diff or something last time and that was ages ago. Whipped out the front diff and its fine, its when the wheel nuts are back on that it locks up? So.....wrong wheels, wheel nuts? I ran it a couple of times at a local club as I said and changed nothing, I was aware my tyres werent doing it, so maybve Ive swapped them over on something and forgotten all about it....a 'senior' moment my son calls it! Any ideas?

Hmm , check the depth of the hex in the wheel against the depth of the corresponding hex on the stub axle , the wheel could be binding the knuckle arm, also don't horse the nuts up mega tight that might not help

Im going to have proper look around after dinner and I squared some noo wheels at 'CMF' this afternoon just in case. As I remember the drive doesnt have a bearing as such, prob a nylon bush so swapping them out for bearings can only be a good thing.
Its been while (cue Stained) so Im having to re-learn it all from scratch, the ESC seems fine as it still rolls on some brake after a burst, but should there be reverse? Or does that get binned in the name of performance???
