Figured it out - the bearings on the diff that supports the outdrive weren't seated properly. in one of the holes there was a plastic dag that a hobby knife trimmed out and it's fine now.

I remembered reading somewhere (possibly on rc-mini.net) about some plastic that can be sanded down if this occurs, but I can't for the life of me figure out where it is. I've built 2 kits before this one and didn't have this problem.

Any help much appreciated.

Cheers
