Thanks guys... battery is charging lol. It's an nicad thing and the charger is hokey as hell. Had a Euro plug on it so I had to splice in a proper two prong. So waiting on that...

I did set the throttle to '0%'.

I want to say that when I would try to turn the car on the wheels would spin for a second without any radio input, and then nothing. Just enough to shoot it off the table lol.

But like I said I am revisiting this project after a long break, so let me get a charge on the battery and we can go from there.
