Default what did I break? (video)

Was bashing around with my stock (brand new) slash 4x4 brushless, and I hit a plate (I was driving in a baseball diamond), and this happened.

Motor spins, but hardly moves the wheels when held in the air. Doesn't move at all on the ground. I took the front and back wheel parts off, and from what I've seen, no gears are stripped/no parts broken.

How do I fix this? It turned my fun time into frustration time

Sounds like something with the slipper clutch to me.

Thanks! The slipper clutch was way loose, tightened it up and it was fine.

Any way to prevent it from getting so loose again?
