For those of you who have received the new Traxster II, please make sure that you apply a small amount of White Lithium Grease to the rear axle/idler hubs.  Without it, the aluminum hubs might "gall" against the aluminum axles, and prevent the hubs from spinning freely.

I'm going to look for some small packs of grease that we can supply with each kit.  Until then, you can find small tubes of the white lithium grease at your local hardware and/or auto parts store for a few bucks.  I would refer from using WD-40, as it's pretty thin, and won't last long.

Also, the tracks require light tension, so don't apply too much tension to the tracks when securing the motors to the chassis.

Best Regards!
