Default Help with 2.5R

I have a T Maxx that I am going to try and sell. The thing will start up but as soon as it does. The car takes off and stalls after 2 seconds. The car just takes off without hitting the gas or anything. Do you know what the problem might be?

if you have to hold it off the ground to start it and the tires spin even when just turning over , its probably a busted clutch spring

how much would that cost me to fix? Got the truck as gift and never really got into it at all.
