check your clutch spring

it just hooks to itself, wraps around the outside of the shoes, possibly lower your idle or check your oneway bearing

then all thats fine bc i the spring seems fine on the shoes so idk

What kind of motor are you running? How long have you been running it (gallons etc.)? Check that LSN (low speed needle) and make sure it's adjusted to get the motor to idle.

t3.0 but i shldnt have to adjust anything could my servo that controls the brake nd gas need to be adjusted?

Well generally, motors will need tuning. But since you mentioned you crashed a couple of times...your servo horn may have come loose, the broached portion is worn out, or something happened to cause the the throttle to open wide enough to get the motor's rpm high enough to engage the clutch.

exactly but idk how to fix it nd right now i dnt got the money to take it anywhere to have it fixed

Look in the engine forum here and then check out the Tuning bible.

UPDATE: clutchbell nd shoe seemed fine greased them up when i tried to start it up again it takes off but i tried something new i unhooked the throttle cable from the servo nd kept it on the brake the wheels still turned also itll stop when i hit the break on the controller itll stop but once i left off the tires spine again, i tried the throttle trim it didnt do too much help tho it has to be somethin in the gears who the clutch is messed up i just didnt notice

if it accelerated a bit and then died, too lean low speed I think
you need to retune your carb, the needle might accidentally loose when you crashed
