Check your 9v. See if the antenna's are screwed in properly. Try driving it outside, you might have some interference somewhere in the house. You could even try different controllers or crystals too.

I dont think it's fried range. Fried range goes about 3-4ft... Check the voltage of the 9v. It might be new, but might not be good.

If you used like pharmacy brand 9v sometimes they aren't good quality. If you race around in a house, especially a kitchen, there is mucho interference. This may sound stupid, but is your antenna screwed in good? That can cause it too. If not, check for fried range. Fried range gets worse over time.

Yea, you ay have damaged the brushes. Doesn't help if you run the motor to the point where it is super hot.
