The axle going into a plastic piece and I'm thinking whatever that plastic piece connects to is stripped or it's a broken gear or something. I know zero about rc cars or what the parts are called so I'm hoping someone can guess which part needs replaced and I can Google how to replace it. I wish this would let me post a picture. Thanks so much for helping this noob dad.
I took it all apart and the plastic piece the axle goes in connected to gear differential was spinning inside when it shouldn't be. I just super glued it in and now it works. I'll have to try and figure out which new one I would need if it breaks again.
