That binding sound could be your breaks. I hate that same sound. It sounds like something is binding in the tranny. The throttle servo on the aftershock is ****. I mean ****. I did a readjustment on the servo and now it doesn't make that noise anymore, but I also have very little brake. I've got a jr 590 on my Tmaxx that I think I am going to use as a throttle servo on my aftershock.

I am also hoping the new aluminum clutch shoes I put on helps the tranny issue?!? I have the issue where it sounds like the tranny pops into neutral and then revs really high. The one way bearing was mentioned to me by bakerfield basher, and I read it in another thread. I haven't taken the aftershock apart so I'm not sure where this owb is. If someone could tell me I would greatly appreciate it. I'm guessing its not the owb on the pull start.
