Default Breaking in my new savage.......

Hey guys, today I started breaking in my new savvy. BTW im on the third tank. So anyway, while driving slowly (heat cycling) I noticed that my car had absolutely no braking power. So i observed the servo and when i push the trigger for the brakes i noticed that the brake servo horn wasn't extending all the way. I'm wondering how I can fix this , it is my first savage. Thanks guys.

are you sure it was going all the way but its not tightened enough? Just screw in the screw on the brake linkage until you feel a strong pull on the brakes.
I was amazed by the power of my brakes, they made the back wheels lift off the ground!

You should be able to adjust the trim to correct that. Refer to your radio manual for instructions. Also....... was your throttle servo centered when you installed the servo arm (horn)? You may have to adjust your throttle/brake linkage too...

This is the Savage 25, I have never tampered with my truck yet. The arm isn't going back far enough, it's not the linkage.
Thanks
