I got my brand new fg 4wd touring car. It is the 530 chassis. Started the breakin and noticed if I gave it throttle the wheels didn’t spin. I took of the gear that drives the drive train and the motor clutch engages and the pinion spins. So it seems the drive train is bound somewhere. Any ideas on where to start? New to the platform. Disconnect the brakes so it’s not that. I’m ready to drive it so I can finish the break in of the motor. But this is keeping if from moving. When I push it it feels like brake dragging but it’s not.

I found out it’s my carb. Brand new and it will only run with low needle 3/4 out and high 1/2 out. Any more and it floods when trying to start.
