This may be totally normal, but I don't know so maybe you can
help. I have just built the 8880 Supercar, and seem to have a lot of
friction when turning (rolling) the wheels, but only when the car is
being held up in the air and the suspension is at full droop. It
appears that axle connector right near the wheel is rubbing on the
perpendicular axle joiner that is on the lower shock shaft in the
middle of the lower suspension arm. It's the one that the
instructions show you to turn straight up when you install the
shocks, I believe it's there to limit travel on the suspension. I
have reviewed the assembly steps for the suspension several times, and
all 4 wheels do it so I am wondering if I interpreted the instructions
wrong somewhere. If I compress the suspension just a tiny bit the
wheels free right up. Almost like the suspension is being allowed to
droop too far.
To give you an idea of how tight it is, If I hold the car up and
turn the engine fan by hand I stop before the wheels turn for fear of
breaking the chain. I'm thinking maybe it was only designed to push
along and see the engine turn?
Thanks for any insight,
Thomas
