Default SC10 4x4 left front wheel seizing up

Hi guys, I just finished building my SC10 4x4, and and finding that the left front wheel is seized up. It turns about 1/5 of a turn in either direction.

Before I tear apart the whole thing, any clues on what I should be looking for?

Thanks.

Check the CVD pin. You may have to shim the wheel pin to reduce slop.

Remove the CVD and then check for rolling resistance on that wheel you're having problems with. Keep narrowing it down to the culprit.

I had the same problem with mine and it ended up being a worn out plastic hex. Installed the aluminum locking hexes and having seen the problem since.
