Default HPI RS4 3 EVO + Problems

I have three problems with my HPI RS4 3 EVO+.

First of all I can't take the car up to full speed cause the wheels wiggle around, even though the wheels are set straight.

Secondly the anodizing on the pipe is coming off, is there any way to stop that from happening, or is it impossible to prevent.

Lastly, I don't know how to set the brake, right now it is really loose, and takes lots of time of to slow down.

Thanks in advance.

What do you mean by wiggle around??? It's perfectly normal for the anodizing to cme off you should not worry. Finally you should tighten the plastic screw that is in the end of the brake's connection rod to the servo, untill the brake engages sufficiently.

I like drive hard to go's answer. It's funny. When I mean wiggle around, I mean that the they shift slightly from to side to side when I drive the car.

Oh now I see wht you mean! This is caused from plastic flexibility. Try not to keep the steering system under stress. I mean that there should be almost no resistance when you try to turn the wheels with the servo arm desconnected. It would be also a good idea to get the adjustable turnbuckles so that the ones used as steering rods will actualy be stronger.

Adjusting the sensitivity of the brake is covered in the manual. If you don't have a paper copy you can download it from HPIs website.
