I got this Panther clone and i messed with fitting a dual cell then decided not to do it and when i put it back together it didn't run

does anyone know what might have happened?

can you steer but not go forward or reverse?

start simple, make sure you got the battery in correctly.
make sure you're getting proper contact on both battery posts.
make sure you're motor is getting proper contact on both the heatsink (clip) and the side contact post.
make sure all the wires are connected where they need to be.

You still haven't described what's really wrong with it.
we can't guess.

Here we go...20 questions.

1) when you put it on a charger, does the charging light come on?
(this would help determine if there is a compete circuit when connected).

2)does it steer fine now?

3) does a different motor spin without any idle gear?

4) Does the motor have good contact with the back plate that gives it its juice
