off road car click
when I push my nitro sidewinder remote control car bakwards it makes a saught of grinding noise and when the car is going it is a bit harder for the engine to move the car it makes a ginding noise. Before the base was bent so we bent it out staight but it still makes the noise.

Hmmm, if its what i think it is you might need to take it to your local hobby shop because i dont know that cars tranny.
The clutch bell is the smaller gear on the engine, that has a bell like shape covering the clutch shoes that grab the bell when the engine is accelerated.
The spur gear is the larger gear that the clutch gear grabs onto and spins it.
So if possible look and the engine and follow it till you see the gear then try and rotate the gear and see if there is any "visual grinding" not the sound but see if there is any teeth missing from the gear etc. If that is good then-
(check the gear box) Grab both back tires and rotate them in opposite directions and see if there is still grinding. Then rotate both tires in the same direction and see if there is grinding, then report back
