Default Turmoil Throttle/Brake Servo issue

Ok so i recently taded and got a used turmoil. I just put a ofna picco 26 in there and once i got her mounted i pull the trigger and the throttle engages fine but when i let go it automatically applys the breaks. When i push the breaks on the remote NOTHING happens. Its like the servo does not even respond. Ok so i have the stock reciever (i know garbage) when turn the switch so the it reverces the throttle and brakage. When i pull the trigger the brakes WORK and when i push it the other way the throttle moves open about half way.

I am confused as to why i have responce at all when i push breaks on remote as they are already fully applied......

Thanks in advanced for all your help.

It sounds like you need to adjust the brake linkage. Each brake (front and back) has a different rod with a thumbwheel to adjust it. I loosen them so that they never engage, then set my throttle how I like it and then set the brake thumbwheels. Make sure the servo is centered before you begin setting anything. Take the arm off, set the trims to zero on the transmitter and then turn on the receiver. Once the servo is centered, put the arm on. Set the end points for the throttle and then set the thumbwheels for the brakes. I hope that helped.

You should also check the EPA on your radio.
