RE: car breaks when im in neutral
How is it that you cant brake that well? It should be set (this is how I do it) so that when the throttle is in neutral position, there are no brakes and there is only the slightest gap between the throttle and the stopper screw to make it open ie. i have to move the throttle arm only a little bit before it actually revs up.
Then I set the stopper screw that activates the brakes so that once I start moving the trigger backwards (start braking), the brakes have some travel before they actually start working. If i feel there isn't enough stopping power, I just move the stopper back so it pulls the link more.
Your problem could actually be that the link is not being pulled enough to make the brakes work well, like adding more torque but not enough travel. I would move the link on the servo to a hole more towards the outside of the horn if that's the case. If not, send us a pic and we'll try to figure it out.
