MGT No breaks
So yea, recently i noticed my MGT's brakes arent working so well. I keep playing with them but they have little effect. If i lift the truck up off the ground, give it gas and hit the brakes, the wheels stop, but if i try this on the ground it takes forever. Time for new brakes? or what? Im confused. []

brake pads are ok, the linkage is tight, trust me, you slap on the brakes and try to move the tires they dont budge. I might just get a whole new brake set up soon. :\

You have to remove the spring and replace it with a piece of fuel line the exact same length. The factory spring is weak. Once I put the tubing in, it stops on a dime and no new servo needed.

RE: MGT No breaks
no, its supposed to route the full six volts to all the servos. also, i just did the fuel line brake mod today and its awesome. i hit the brakes from second gear and the thing nearly squatted to the ground. time to stiffen up the suspension!
