So I turned it off and took it home, put it on bench, took cover off. Noticed a rock stuck in heat sinks on engine where glow plug is, its was jammed in there pretty good. Got it out with screw driver without damaging anything. Started it up again and running fine, responding to everything.

I cant work out how a rock in the heat sinks could prevent all drive???

Model is BS802T 1:8 .21 CXP

gravel = bad for my buggy. But anyways. It was not the rock stuck in your heat sink. THEre was one in the wheel hub or flywheel hole (but that would make it stop). anyway it wasn't the one in the cooling head. Wheel hub man.
