Default Help with Lighting!

Ok so i am very new with this, I just got the car. I seem to have got myself into a nice little jam. I have my idle set perfect (from what i hear). The motor runs perfectly, but for some reason the car doesnt seem to be moving at all and it a some what rattling noise i hear going on. With the motor not running I tried pushing the car by hand and it doesnt move, but when i give it gas and push it, it rolls fine. Any ideas?

hi there,
I think you have to adjust the throttle trim on your controler. your controller has two settings. one is for the steering servo and one for the throtle servo. try to adjust the throttle servo in a neutral position. it sounds like yout car has the brakes on all the time until you hit on the gas. (when you pull the trigger, the car accelerates; when you push it in the other dirrection, the car brakes)
have fun

sounds like your break is set too tight, if the idle is good then turn the adjustment for the brake at the end of the throttle linkage. counterclockwise loosens it up. hope you didnt strip gears with the ratteling you hear. try to loosen the brakes first.
