Team Losi Aftershock truck won't move

I have a Team Losi Aftershock that I bought brand new. I've had it started a few times and the engine sounds great but when I try to give it throttle it dies.
The tires don't even twitch or move a bit, seems like something is bound up but I can lift the car up when it's off and the tires and gears all move... I'm stumped. I know if it's too rich it would bog out but it doesnt even move a little bit!! Any ideas?

I'm no pro but this worked for me

I just got an Aftershock and mine does the same thing from time to time. I think the problem is the motor isn't warm enough to keep it running. Try leaving the glow warmer on it for a minute or two while it's running.
I lift it off the ground and slowly rev up the motor to get it warmer. I then put it on the ground gently while still giving it throttle so it hits the ground running.
Drive it slowly around until it warms up then take the glow warmer out and have fun. Should start and run fine after that until it cools down again.
