Um, wow, not sure what to say as it could be a mutlitude of things.
Spur, clutch, clutchbell, diff, throttle servo, etc., etc.
It's really why, in my opinion, why a nitro-rc is the worst possible choice for a first-time RCer and especially one with "no mechanical skills." Too many things "could" be wrong.

It comes down to that you're really either going to have to take it to your local hobby shop, if you purchased it there (and maybe they'll help you out), or get out the manual and start tearing into it to find out what's wrong/broken/torn up/stripped. Not trying to blow you off. Sorry, part of the hobby is figuring things out as you go along.

What kind of truck is it?  Post it in the truck forum and give more details...it can be troubleshot here, but it will require a lot of back and forth.

first place i'd look is make sure you haven't lost the set screws in the axle cups.
