inspect your clutch and bearings sounds like its locked up, if it is it will stall whenn you hit the brakes

It's probably hydro locked, the TRX 3.3 engine automatically locked itself when fuel is flooding inside...when this happen...take off your glow plug...cover the head with clean rag...and crank the engine with the EZ start until there is no fuel spitting...reinstall the plug then start the engine....good luck...btw visit traxxas website, go to their knowledge base section...I learned a lot of stuff there to tame my 3.3 maxx...also join their online community...lot of nice and helpful people there...
