Default Better braking for Tmaxx?

My truck just dosent stop very fast. I upgrade the throttle/brake servo, took all the slack out of the wire that pulls on the brake pads too. I then read about glueing 2 brake pads together so they dont flex but that really didnt make much of a differance either. Any other ideas?

Have you checked your trim on the controller?

does the braking system have a spring or fuel tubing? if it has a spring, cut a piece of fuel tubing the same size as the spring and swap.
you could also get brake cleaner and spray the disk.

If the brakes are set up properly and the epa and exp on your radio are set correctly, you should be able to pull stoppies at will with the stock brakes.
