Can someone help me diagnose the following issue?

After running my savage in semi muddy conditions, the drivetrain gets hung up with about every one rotation of the wheels. I don't know if the muddy conditions are related, but... thought I would throw that out there. It's definetely not the brake, and it appears to be a problem coming from the back wheels, and not the front.

I don't usually run the thing through puddles, but this was sort of unintentional, although playing near puddles certainly falls under "operator error"

I didn't notice while I was playing with it, what actually ended the bash session was the fact that the steering was locking up, but when I got home to inspect it that appeared to fix itself - looks like some mud binded up the steering mechanism (that issue probably can be resolved with a good cleaning). Although in the field the front passenger side tire was pretty locked up, wouldn't turn at all - in fact, I was giving it full throttle and the car was just sitting there. So,when I flipped her over to check everything I noticed the wheels binding up once with about every one rotation. It's not severe, but enough to feel a small "pulse" of resistance about once rotation. I verified it wasn't the brake (although I have just about enough of the stock braking linkage - they don't really disengage fully after braking.)

Thanks for the help.
