Truck locked up

I just bought a new rampage mt. I just started it up first time. Into my second tank of gas for the break in and my truck locked up... motor is running fine revving up good and the truck won't move. Seems either the breaks locked up. I looked at the dog bones coming from the motor it looked as if I lost both front and rear set screws. The tires as a pair.

From move around as well as the back but as it sits on the ground won't move. I know when I brought it out to first try it when you'd move one tire the whole 4 tires would spin. And help. What should I look for. Anything.... little discouraged since it's been 1 hour since I owned this truck and it's already grounded

Yeah. Lost both set screws in the front and back dog bone and the breaks locked up. I bought new ones and used blue lock tight. And messed around with the breaks and they unlocked so it's good to go now.
