New Arrma Nero Issue?

[skent]

Just picked up a Nero. Have not run it yet but I noticed it does not roll very easily.

Below is a video of me gently pushing it.

It feels very bindy and obviously does not sound good.

Is this normal or do I have an issue.

Thanks!

normal..just all that drivetrain noise...they all sound that way...but surprisingly quiet when the motor is driving the system rather than back driving through the wheels. ..you will soon see...

Thanks Afro,

I guess the binding is ok as well. Once it starts moving it doesn't bind but getting it to move requires some initial force to overcome the drivetrain.

Totally normal. I called my LHS after I got it to make sure something wasn't wrong.

Put the truck on a stand wheels off the ground. You should be able to spin them. If not or with difficulty could be some binding.

This is a normal condition

This condition is easily addressed by applying 12 Volts to each of the yellow XT90 plugs. Once the ESC sees 25V it will not have no issues propelling the truck to close to 50MPH
