Status: offline 		not sure on the brakes question.. did u make sure the wheel nuts are still tight? and if it floods you wont be able to turn the motor over or it will be very very hard.

Status: offline 		Sorry OP,...off topic for a moment, but wanted to congratulations to BikeOrdie. He came asking for help, and here he is on his 9th post helping someone else! Way to go BikeOrdie!

And he is right. Flooding will make the engine hard to start, and a really good flood job will keep the engine form turning over as BikeOrdie says. remove the glowplug, turn upside down, and roate engine a LOT! Try to start, but be ready to repeat the upside down thing. Sometimes it takes a few times.

On the brakes, maybe it jsut needs an adjustment. A crash can distrub lots of settings, usually by loosening things. So check everything is tight, and then adjust as necessary.

Status: offline 		No problem BikeOrdie.

To OP:

Another thought could be the steering is binding cause a constant load on the steering servo. This can cause the Receiver battery voltage to drop and the throttle/brake servo doesn't get enough power to fully put on the brakes. I['ve had the steering servo bind up due to internal gear stripping too. Causes same problem.

Try disconnecting the throttle/brake servo and then see how the brakes work (by pushing it along by hand and nailing the brakes).
