Status: offline 		Hey guys havent been on here for a while been over in the mini section because I been running my savage xs lately (fun little truck by the way). SO I just bought a savage flux hp my batteries finally came in today for it, like a week after I got the truck had to sit and look at it forever waiting on the batteries. So today I took it out for the first time and I was driving it pretty slowly and noticed the brakes dont seem to stop it very well. It was facing downhill in my driveway and the brakes would not hold it still. Im not sure what to expect out of it cause like I said it was my first time driving it. Also I noticed when I apply the brakes it makes a weird noise kinda like a harmonic humming noise is this normal? Had to cut it short cause of the rain so let me know what you guys think.

^ Yes!  Additionally that noise is a combination of the big electric motor and the large toothed steel gears clashing together.  That sound tripped me out when I first got my truck.

Also, regarding the braking power, as CR500rider stated too much brake is probably worse than where it's set right now.  If you hit brakes in mid jump, the truck will spin into a forward flip.  Looks cool at first until it lands on it's lid; then it's not so cool when you have a smashed body.
