RE: Not happy with Savage X 4.6 RTR
for better brakes, just turn that thing that controls the tention on the brake spring. i had a problem with bad brakes, so i turned that thing about 8 turns and when i hit the brakes, the truck flipped forward. my steering servo is in the process of going out. the hitec mg645 is a good, cheap replacement.
it's montly bad luck that you are having.
