Default whats wrong with my car?

HPI RS4 3 SS

engine running- the car has a hard time moving forward

engine off- the car rolls forward but locks when you try to move it back

the clutch is good, but it only happens with motor in and gears meshed

thanks

Maybe the one-way ball-bearing of the bigger plastic transmission gear is installed on the wrong direction. If not then maybe some teeth of the gears are damaged or the brake applies at idle.
