Locked up wheel?

DJRobLuv Tuesday, 4/10/2018

Hello.

Anybody know how to get a wheel to spin freely?

One wheel is locking up periodically and won’t allow the car to roll straight.

Thanks

First thing to check is the axle and wheel itself. Make sure they're not bent or have something weird with them.

If those are okay, then check to see if the wheel is rubbing on the body. If it is, then you can do some grinding to clear up the rub, or even replace the whole wheel/axle combo.

Of course, if you're not interested in taking things apart, then you're in a rough spot.
