You should be able to tell if there's resistance in the drivetrain. Are you using the stock motor? If you still are, it's probably blown. I burnt mine up after 3 months of running.

Sounds like motor brushes to me. My slash motor didnt last long runnin it in water. Its not so much the water as it is the gritty, grimmy cud getting in the can..
