This is going to sound dumb but the gearbox in the car I just assembled had a "tight" spot when rotating it by hand. It went away after I took it back apart and re-ordered the idler gears in the case, now it spins free. Your results may vary.

Just a quick video of the stock transmission case I received - press fit

distro for our area of the world says unless they hear from AE there are no issues.

From the video it sounded like it could be one of the following:-

1. The diff screws are not tight enough and are rubbing the bearing holder. It is wise to use a 2.5mm hex head screw to make the threads in the gearbox case prior to using the countersunk 2mm screws and make sure that they go in square.

2. The diff screws are too tight and have deformed the teeth on the outside of the diff casing

Seems to be a running change.. So safest bet would be to buy the revised kit. I think the hobby shops will sell the old parts first.
