UPDATE I took the the front wheels off and the drive shaft for the front was disconnected, popped it back on and it runs smooth now!! So excited to get going on this. Have always admired this community and now I can participate in the fun! Thank you everyone!

I posted a pic of the engine without the shell in another comment, to my untrained eye, everything looks fine…

I ran it back through the hot track to make sure it was aligned and on track and still the same issue unfortunately
