Default Avalanche Brakes

My brakes are really sucking on my avalanche. ive got both brakes adjusted in as far as they can go without dragging, but it still sucks. barely stops. Is there maybe an adjustment im missing. im curious to see how my dads brakes are on his.

I adjusted everything i possibly could on my avalanche brakes and the only thing that got them to work was putting a stronger high torque servo on them. I used the hitec HS-645mg and it works great now. Simply put, the stock wasnt strong enough. Again, I tried every possible adjustment.

make sure the fiber discs aren't rounded (where the come out of the center diff (transmission)). They are keyed to the output drive cup.
