Status: offline 		I've read several posts about fixing the mushy brakes in the Savage. The one that made perfect sense, replaced the soft tubing with a harder material.
Someone note however, that this would ruin the servo in the long term. Is there a sure fire way to upgrade the performance of the Savage brakes?

Thanks

Also you can loosen the set screw on the brake pivot point where the horizontal linkage meets and drop the linkage a few more mm to increase braking power. You can also upgrade your servo.

Status: offline 		buy a new servo with more torque for your steering and take the one you had for your steering and put it in your throttle. i put a new brake disk and now my truck flips over.http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXDVK6&P=0

Status: offline 		I've got a piece of plastic clothes hangar in the place of the fuel tubing on my brake linkage. I also used the SF-2 servo from the steering as the throttle/brake servo. With a little adjustment there is no worry about stripping the servo. I'm over 3 gallons and witht his set up and no problems so far. My truck flips over forward on braking at the drop of a hat.
