Something isn't normal. A well geared stock motor and proper batteries and that TC3 should be in the 25-30MPH range.

a few things to look at:

reset speed control

cycle the batteries

is something binding? Check the pinion/spur gear mesh

bearings rusted?

Take the pinion off of the motor. The car should roll a long way on the ground with a slight push
