Yep, new bearings often have a little more resistance than well worn ones. At larger angles like full droop when on a stand, CVDs and dogbones can also have more resistance than when in their normal running positions. Most 8th scale motors do tend to have a bit of a drag effect though, even without drag break turned on.
