What radio/esc/motor/bettery do you have?

Did you try flipping the throttle reverse switch on the Tx?

Is the car new and did you program the esc?

its an older one i got used, and the tx switch is in the proper place, its pushed to the right side, i dont not know how to tell what kind of esc it is, i am very new to this, all i know is i turn it on put it on the ground and its going backwards only way to stop it is throttle it a bit then it goes right back to reverse

Try flipping the reverse switch anyway and see what happens. Your ESC or Rx may be toast.

At least it wasn't anything major. Stupidity is free, sometimes!

yea nothing major yet, i noticed another thing though, it steers better to the right than to the left, when i have it off both wheels have the same rang of motion when pushing them but they dont see to have the same range or sensitivity when using the wheel on the remote, what could cause this?

Steering servo could be getting worn out or your steering components may not be quite right or wearing out. Could be a few other things too, but those are the usual culprits.
