Calm down, Bro. I own a Redcat Rampage XR, and I can tell you what you NEED to do:
#1: Take out the engine, so you can have access to the center drive with the spur gear that connect the dogbones to the gear cases with diffs.
#2: Take off the gear case Cover to expose the gear-cluster.
#3: Takeoff that part with the servo and expose the brake with pinion arrangements.
Now...
A) Check the spur gear configuration to see if any grub screws are missing. Check the spur gear itself and make sure the little screws are all tightly in, and not jamming the rotation.
B) DO the same checks on the shaft from the gear-case that connects the pinion. Check for loose or missing grub screws.
C) check into the cluster-gears for missing grub screws.

If you find screws missing or loose; re-tighten with blue LOCKTITE. You MAY have to order replacement grub screws for your car. You'll need them.

BEST OF LUCK. PEACE!
