So, I have since completed my 501x, installed all my electronics (QC2, Airtronics 361, Reedy Motor (7 x 2 - Maifield edition), Fantom Racing IB3800 cells. After 4 packs of running (3 quals and a main - placed 3rd in the A) and around 30 minutes @ 4V, the drive train isn't nearly as free as it should be. I am used to the X10, where you can look at the drive train and it will rotate. The diffs are all clean, as are the bearings, the centre pulley is more or less straight (there is an ever so slight wobble from the factory), the belt tensioners are in the recommended setting (which is I find a little snug, but being unfamiliar with belt cars since my Lazer ZX-RR, I opted to go with the suggested setting.. Does anyone else find this? or is it me being overly anal?
