I loosened up the rear slipper nut considerably where I think the nut is about flush. The spur gear is still very tight to turn. I want to know if this is normal and will break in so to speak. I have two SC10 4X4's, but the other one was bought as a roller, so this is my first build on this platform. Any advice?

ps: I have been in RC for a "while" uhhhh, in fact I have two RC8T's and AE instructions on that at least tells you what "bag" corresponds with the area you are dumping the parts out for. These instructions are very....crappy? It is a awesome bit of engineering though!
