And then the car stopped driving but the engine was still running and reving, but the car wouldn't go so i stopped the engine and tried to start it again, the engine wouldn,t start and could hear air escaping from the engine and their was no compresion. 2 issues anyone got any ideas of what it could be???

Engine probably too lean and so overheated, plug dead.

But did the engine still responded to the throttle when it would not move? Then sorry to say, you have to check gears, diffs and the slipper clutch. No crystal boll will work for me to tell you what is wrong.

You might get more responses in the nitro off road section.

Clutch nut came loose causing engine to revup.. I suggest you disassemble engine and check for damage.

Although wrong forum, it is the same technology.
And please, do not send him to another part to create a new topic. Just click on the triangle traffic sign and fill in that it better suits the offroad forum. Some mod will receive it and take action to move it.

You need to actually start taking things apart to see what failed, and then ask for help.
