[8D] You can get one here->[link]http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXL307&P=ML[/link]. I don't know if you can or cannot reverse just one? Some one elce should be able to help you out. Good luck, PS: Look here also->[link]http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&ie=ISO-8859-1&q=reverse+a+servo%3F+im+currently+running+2+servos +off+one+channel+&btnG=Google+Search[/link]

dont you have 3 channels on your radio? use the 3rd channel for the front brakes.

YOU need a "Y" harness with a reverser on one side. You can easily get one anywhere. EXPERT is the cheapist.

Thats what I was thinking. Read your radio manual!

even if you have 3 channels, you need to be able to mix them so they operate at the same time.
My M8 has three channels but no channel mixing, so i needed a Y connector.

reckon! lol.

maybe its time to upgrade ur radio? because with channel mixing, u can change ur brake bias on ur radio, ie. give it a bit more front end breaking, or more rear end.. ect ect
