I always say good transit speed high torque for steering, good torque high transit speed for steering. I use the futaba 3 pm 2.4 gig spectrum transmitter. It is very adjustable when it comes to steering and throttle trims. 10 model memory as well. just one idea. I also own 2 ravagers and it just takes a little time to get used to adjusting the brakes. If you can post a picture of your throttle / brake set up/ linkage. might be able to help
