I recently bought a km T2000 and in the process of breaking it in. However this truck seems to have quite a bit of drag.
When the engine is off, I push the truck and it bearly rolls.
My son has a 1/5 chimera and his rolls very easily.

What is my problem with my car??
 
You can check to see if your brakes have enough play on the brakes if the brakes are still close to the pad this can cause drag also with the belt drive and gears on the T 2000 it will cause more drag also verse the chimera which just has gears to turn and not a belt. The T2000 is harder to roll then the chimera and the t2000 stock tires are way to heavy for that truck and with the weight of the heavier tires and dual shocks and more gears also.

Is the belt supposed to be tight. It is real tight.
Also there is a lot of wear in the belt after only a couple tanks. Pieces of the belt fraying off. Is this normal.

And when I have it in a stand instead of the tires tiling smoothly when I turn them, they skip(if that makes any sence). Like they go then jump then go, as if it is catching on something.
 
yes the belt is supposed to be tight but if the belt is fraying then it is offline somewhere so that is giving you alot of drag also if its skipping I would check the gears and make sure they are align smoothly you will need to replace the belt real soon because if its frayed it will snap. You need to find out what is it fraying on the gear cover or the gears itself or hitting the gear holder.
 
I currently just got one as well and im having the same problem if not worse. Ive taken it out first day and it was slow as but moving. Then its just stoped really bearly moves at all. Ive picked it up and gave it to it and it smashed it. Put it back on the ground still a turtle, anything i should do. completly lost here

t2000 drag

I also have a t2000 When I got it it was doing the same thing right away on the first tank I found that the one of the bearings was missing never install. Once I installed one things got better but not great there seams to be no way to set belt tension this seems to be a problem not sure What I going to do but something needs to be done i'm working on it.
