Portal axles

I put some Portal axles on my c10. Now it struggles to go forward and turn. But it goes good backwards and turns.can anyone help me

You tightened your wheel nuts too tight maybe. Try loosening them just a smidge and see if that fixes it. SCX24's are notorious for that.

Great looking truck!

So does it seem like it is struggling to go forward, as if there is a bind? Or is it just faster forward than reverse?

A video of what it is doing uploaded to Youtube would likely help.

Have you tried turning the body the oter direction? just teasin'
Not sure what would cause this, how does the drive shaft feel, is it in sync with the rear shaft?

I mean, installing portals usually means reversing direction. So now you have to reprogram the ESC or something to tell it that forwards is now backwards.

I was thinking that as well. But he said it struggles to go forward and turn.

Sounds like something is binding but I would say it should bind in both directions.
Can’t wait to hear about the fix on this one
