I just purchased a Volcano. Everything was great and running fine. before using it for the 3rd time I took the wheels off and cleaned everything and put them back on. It started fine but the wheels have seized up and maybe the brake is on or something because they won't turn at all. Can anyone help with this?

could be your wheels are to tight..or you acciedently moved your throttle trim so your breaks are locked..also check real close for a rock binding up your drivetrain

move the throttle servo by hand and see if the brakes are on. Also, if you tightened up the wheels, when it is up on blocks, the wheels will be snug and very tight when trying to spin them by hand.

ok, While manually turning my wheel hubs with wheels off my drive train only turns a half revolution real tightly and stops. When my motor is started it revs like its trying to take off but can't because something is stuck??
