any ideas whats up with it????

Ok 1st, on my Futaba pistol grip, there is a switch to make the "TH.TRIM" to either "R" or "N". There is proably one on urs too, make sure thats set to "N". Then there is also a dial or sumsort label "TH.TRIM". settin the dial alll the way to one end will make the wheels spin by itself, and setting the dial at other end will make the wheels just completely stop and u use the throtle to give/takeaway juice to ur car, try playing with those settings and see what happens, it should fix it, if not come back here

What chassis? What ESC?
