Welcome to RCTALK.COM! 
Is this a new RC or one you've been operating for a while now?
Are you loosing power to the whole car or just the motor?
Are you 100% positive the battery is fully charged and is in good condition?
Do you have a meter to verify voltage?
Have you inspected the plugs and wires to be in good condition?
Are you using any adapters?
Can you describe what goes wrong in more detail?

That sounds like any of the following:
- battery itself incapable of supplying enough power to the motor/esc -> is the battery fully charged? if yes can you check if it has a C rating (aka a discharge rate) anywhere? (batteries with higher C rating can readily supply more power on demand, since you said it only happens at higher speeds)
- what ESC is it? any sort of branding available that you can use to look up the specs of? could be a lousy ESC
- how's the wiring? (like what Mike suggested)
and not to be pedantic but it helps to be more descriptive (as in: is the problem reproducible? what sort of action was done before you experienced power loss/power cutoff/whatever it is? is steering still functional; can you still steer the front wheels when that happens? so and and so forth); we're only psychotic, not psychic
