Hey Guys
First post here I have a Savage XL converted to brushless here is what I got going on

Castle Creations 2200kv 1515 NEU motor
Alza CD diff kit
1/8 Vorza Center Diff
TCS crawlers chassis

so guys I put everything in the truck all mounted up and set my gear mesh I think its perfect just a little bit of play
My ? is when I put the truck on the ground and roll it it tends to lock up a little bit or just be hard to get it starting to roll by pushing it. is this because of the resistance from the motor?> or could there be something else wrong thanks guys

The Truck will have resistance if your just pushing it by hand , just nature of the beast
with the gears and motor and such .

yea man, if you trying to push it around on hardwood floors it might even just slide.

If everything felt and spun smooth before you set the mesh, and you got just a tiny bit of play between the gears (check it at different spots, rotate it around a few times) then you should be fine.

The 4 pole motors magnets make it feel chunky/clunky when rotated by hand.

That motor you have is well known for this and one of the worst with this characteristic. Most people don't mind, but I absolutely hate it.
