Default Binding lower arms?

Hi guys,
I've just completed building the T2 and this is the best kit i've put together. I've built probably 15 or so kits in my years in the hobby and must say that in the T2 all parts were a perfect fit. Everything went together real nice. The manual and the information included is first class. This guys at X-Ray pay attention to detail.

I thought I'd share one trick to help with anybody who has problems with their lower arms not moving freely. As we all know we should not have any stiction with the arms and it should pivot completely stiction free from the hingepin. When lifted up it should drop back down from it's own weight or you are guaranteed to have trouble on the track.
The reason is that there is a chance that when you lock the lower hinge pin blocks(roll center blocks), you might twist it that it binds the lower arm.

Solution: Apply pressure to the arms toward the block while locking in the blocks to the alu bulkhead. Do the same with all the blocks.
You will find that now it's butter smooth.

Cheers!
