Axial Wraith Drivetrain question

I just got myself the poison spyder wraith and the drivetrain feels abit draggy and not so free rolling. I've pinpointed it down to the transmission, there is grease in there,but not much and the bearings seem fine. Is this normal with the Wraiths or do i need to grease up my transmission. (and it's definitely not the drag brake :) ) Thanks

Slip the pinion off the motor shaft and give the truck a free roll, this should eliminate any back force from the motor

It may just need a little use to free everything up

With the motor pinion removed there shouldn't be any resistance when free rolling it. I would check that the wheels haven't been over tightened causing wheel hubs to bind on axle. Axial don't have a clean track record for production assembly issues, at least for wraith that is.
