Ok since you have noticed a binding issue, first take the motor out and see if the rear axle spins freely on its own. If it does not take your rear wheels off and take your differential out and make sure the diff hub is not grindng against the motor pod. It may be that your wheel nuts are simply too tight. If your rear axle does spin freely then try opening up your diff, cleaning it out with some motor spray, and then putting some thin bushing / bearing oil in to make sure the interals are free to move without binding.

Do you have ball bearings installed? If you just have the stock bushings I would suggest some bearings and probably a ball diff. You can adjust the side to side play with the ball diff (how tight or loose it is on the pod) along with the amount of differential action. At the very least bearings are a must, at least on the axle and on the right side wheel.
