hey its fixed!!! i called traxxas and they had me reprogram the speed control. That fixed it! It was so funny cuz i had the motor outside of the transmission and after re-programming the guy said press the throttle to see if it works. So i press the throttle and the motor screams to life and jerks and scares the crap out of me and the guy on the phone is laughing at me. It was funny so ya i dont know wut happened i guess i just had to reprogram the speed control and all is well now!
