Also, how important is it to clean and re-oil the bearings before you run the car for the first time? I think those are blue rubber sealed and they are hard to get open. I have no problem with the diffs and spur gear being free and stuff so I was wondering if it was a big deal.

Thanks for the help
Check the screws on the spur gear, they may be hitting the upper deck. This is a common issue with the 007. You may need to add some additional countersink to the holes in the spur.

As for the bearings, it is best to oil them before the first time you use them.
