I am not familure with your exact RC so these are just general trouble shooting questions:

Does the front wheels move freely if you spin them by hand (applies if your RC is 2wd)? If not, then it may be acting like a parking brake.

Does it move if you give it a push while giving it some throttle? If so, then you do not have enough torque to get it moving while stopped.

It's perfectly normal, especially with soft tyres. Make sure you mount your tires properly or they may fly off when you are bashing.....

Im no expert but what gears did you get/change in your transmision? Did you change anything else when you change your battery? These might help figure out what happened.

my gears are 76t / 48p and the small gear says 27 on it only thing i did was buy the gears and the lipo nothing else. another question if the slip clutch bolt is not tight right can this cause this problem to just wondering because i took it off to replace the gearing. if so how would i go about adjusting the clutch.
