Default Wheels Turning (low idle on bumpbox)

Hello all,
Need some advice, I was running my buggy all day without an issue. Until, I smacked the buggy at a tree at half speed, I've checked the buggy over and only thing that is bent is the front shaft. All of the sudden wheels started to turn at low idle (buggy off the ground.) How would you trouble shoot the issue? I'm new to nitro cars.

Thanks,

I had a similar problem when I changed my clutch shoes and springs. I then used the same shoes as they were new and changed springs only, I used HB 1.0 springs. The problem was solved. Try putting new springs on from another brand with the same spring rate. See if that helps.
