Something is not right with the monster still. I don't know what is going on with it but it is not get all the power to the wheels. It sounds like something is grinding or not make the contact that it needs. It is moving but still sounds like the gears are not making full contact with each other . It is not moving full speed the motor is ripping but it will not go very fast something is not right. PLEASE HELP
