Default BRAKES !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi, j

ust run my savage in and now i am taking it to WOT all the way to max speed, I need to beable to stop quickly. When i apply the brakes from flat out , the truck will come to a standstill after about 10 second after appling the brake fully. I know the dual brake setup is what to do but meanwhile im sure the brakes should be better than they currently are. THEY HARDLY WORK!! Is there a way to like tuneup the brake so that it is better

Help would be gr8

Joe

tighten your break cable all the way.
if that does not satisfy you i know this sounds weired but put tooth past on the disc
not the see through past. but the thick past it will stop fast.

first the servo that controls your throttle at the end of it you will see a tube (i think its see through) there is a black
circle type of nob and the is a x screw driver fit. simply spin it it will be a bit hard to spin bought do not be afraid.
hop that will help you.

I found i had to replace that dumb piece of fuel tubing on the brake rod every other day. I simply gave up on it and got a couple of strong springs out of some ball point pens, slipped one spring over the other. Works quite well, I am now able to do foward flips when ever I want to. (Note: You must release the brakes before it lands on the wheels again otherwise you'll shear some teeth off of the differential gears.)
