Troubleshooting
Drive shaft not rotating smoothly
Ensure the drive shafts are correctly aligned and not binding. Check for any debris or obstructions in the drivetrain. Verify that the chassis screws are not overtightened, which could cause chassis flex.
Drive shaft broke or bent
Inspect the surrounding drivetrain components for any damage or misalignment that may have caused excessive stress. Consider upgrading other drivetrain parts if frequent breakages occur under demanding conditions.
Excessive noise from the drivetrain
Check for proper lubrication of all moving parts in the drivetrain. Ensure the drive shafts are seated correctly and that no foreign objects are interfering with their rotation.
