Heres a video, not the best, camera phone and not great lighting.

Pleaes tell me if its supposed to do this.

EDIT: ANOTHER PROBLEM! Gah Im just putting this thing together wrong or something. Now the spur gear is catching on the top plate. I need to know if I need to fix either of these things.

Is it ok to grind away some of the top plate?

The steering issue is fine if you look at the knuckle you can see a little mark on it, if you choose you can take a hobby knife and trim it down to make it not rub anymore or just leave it and it will break itself in and make a groove in the plastic and won't bind anymore. The problem is the M4x18 is about a mm to long so the spindle touches it causing the binding.

Before making the groove with hobby knife:


After making the groove and no more binding:


For the top plate make sure it is in the correct orientation a picture would help as far as what is wrong.


EDIT: The spur gear is a little warped causing the gear to touch slightly.
EDIT EDIT: Once the center diff was installed on the chassis the rubbing went away.
