New Hummer Evo not driving properly...

Received my Hummer tonight and spent the last 3 hours putting it all together and doing the upgrades I got for it. Once I was finally done, I took it outside for hopefully a triumphant quick run before going to bed...

But not so triumphant was I, whenever I pull the throttle it either goes REALLY SLOW or not at all.

- I've Checked the AAA batts with a voltmeter and I KNOW they've all got a good amount of juice
- The Tx power light is decently lit, so the 9volt is fine
- If I pick up the truck and pull the throttle, it drives fine...As soon as I put it back down it might drive around a little (very weakly) and then stop.

These are the upgrades I've done:
- 4 Wheel Drive
- Stage 2 (with 8/25 spacer and 8/25 gears)
- Ground Clearance (and using the beefier tires)

I have to say that the included instructions with the upgrades were just subpar to near awful! Like for the 4x4 upgrade kit there's 3 drive shafts included...But no real clear instructions on which is the proper one to use with what truck you have.

Anyway, can anyone suggest what else to look for or try? I'm hoping I just missed something simple/stupid...Otherwise I'll need to rip the thing apart and start fresh.

Thanks.
