You have been so vague that there is no way possible to properly diagnose the problem via the info. that you have given.

Is this your first nitro truck? (I'm trying to get a feel for your engine experience).

If the wheels move freely and the engine revs when you pull the trigger, then inspect the Slipper clutch. Sometimes the locking nut on the slipper clutch spring works it way open. If this is the case then tighten it fully and the loosen half a turn. After this apply a drop of BLUE thread lock solution and allow to dry Make sure you do not apply RED thread lock. Other symptons could be be a worn clutch, worn spur gear, poor meshingof clutchbell and spur.
