That is a brushless motor.

On the wheel that doesn't spin, check the dog bone and cup and sure it's not damaged and screwed on tight. You can use the other dog bone set up, on the other wheels, for comparisons.

Why is there a rubber band wrapped up in the passenger front driveshaft? Please tell me that's not what's causing your problem.
Dead grass.

Disconnect motor from driveline and you will easily find where the binding issue is.
 
Welcome in @Sticcy RC , here is my suggestion, I would buy yourself some RC tools, "amazon sells decent sets", and dig into your rig.
It's perfect time to learn about your rig part by part.
You might find parts here
 
thank you guys it turns out the passenger front a arm was broke and the dog bone was bent so I'm ordering parts and tools.

yeah it was dead grass WAS DRIVING IT THROUGH THE GOLF COURSE
 
Loosen the nut on tye wheel that doesn't spin, this HSP chassis has a weird quirk where you can over tighten the wheel nuts and cause them to not budge.

If you need parts look for HSP or Redcat, Redcat sells this same buggy as a "Tornado".
