Hi, Check the set screw on the wheel that doesn't roll forward. It may be slipping on the drive shaft on the gear box. Mine was doing that when I got the tank. Hope this helps.

Might be one of the motor speed controllers has failed. Not really a repairable item, but if it is an RX18 board (it be in a black plastic box with a silver Heng Long sticker on the top) a replacement board isn't too expensive to replace.

Thanks Jack, Tankbear and n1ghtpony for the prompt replies. Will check the drive shaft on the gear box first before replacing a new rx18 board.
