Default need help...cant get good braking when needed

ok. i played with the little throttle wire/cable whatever you want to call it. ( the part that lets more fuel flow into carburetor when accelerating) and so now i have better speeds but alot less braking power. how can i get both speed and braking when needed? cheers in advance

like theres a thin rod/wire that connects the servo to the carburetor.so when i put on the throttle the servo turns which turns the carburetor thus letting more fuel flow into the engine. i somehow change that and so i can get good speeds than before but waaay less braking power so it takes longer to stop.

look at the end of your brake link the rod/wire there should be a black little knob or stoper try moving that to the servo a bit and see it that helps.
