Thanks for your input and reply. I will definitely look into the barrel spring set. I can't tell you how thrilled I am that it wasn't me botching a step somewhere along the building process during those late hours. I was frustrated by this until my 9 year old said simply, why don't you just run it the way it is. Those words snapped me out of my funk, and more so now knowing it's not just my vehicle. Thanks again!

Please help if anyone has experienced this with their Toyota Land Cruiser CR-10. I just completed it and during the first test run noticed an unusual hop much like what a car feels like when it's been sitting in one place for a long period of time and its tires become flat on the side against the surface. I have tried everything to isolate the issue. I have removed both propeller shafts individually and both at the same time. With one shaft removed, the hop remains, but with both removed, the hop is gone as I push it along the floor. I am now convinced that the shafts are binding just enough to cause this hop. I wonder if its because the angle of the shafts are so steep. I have tried lowering the axle shafts, but the hop still remains. I have tried everything and feel frustrated and defeated. Please help if anyone with this vehicle has experienced the same hop and figured out how to correct/address it.
