All electronics fail over time, the hotter they get the faster they wear out and need to be replaced.

What are your average temps at the end of each session? If you cooked the motor then chances are it needs to be replaced, more info here:

Hi thanks for replying, forgot to mention it's a 1/5 scale petrol pull start engine, all runs just don't move I thought maybe clutch or drive shaft but can't see anything

Follow the spin from the motor. Where the spinning stops is where you look. I haven't got that big yet so I can't give places to look.

Yeah those clutches need to be replaced often, the bearings tend to seize up and need to be replaced frequently.
