You are not describing your problem very clearly. Try again but i think i know what u mean. i had the same issue on my 9.5

mselley

if u look in the picture the bars that connect the brakes to the servo are bent ( like it sais to do in the manual) but if you are driving around occasionally they turn around so the bend faces the other way. This makes one brake not work as the length is different.

Question

Why do they have to be bent ????

Can you not leave them straight ?????

mselley

thats wht i think i might do as i think it is pointless bent and all it does is cause more hastle but it recomends it . duno why
stupid ofna ill get back to you in a few mins when i have done it k
thnx

mselley

yep put them straight seems to of eliminated the problem thnx for ure suggestion
thank u

No probs mate just have fun

Ah yes a common one this. Now the rods dont need to be bent ( in fact it's better if they're not) but if you can get hold of it then the PCR linkkage is the best solution. Like this...

Nice set up Alex but looks like you need new brake pads LOL

mselley

thnx for the help ill look for those hyper 7 pro brake linkages yea think u need new brake pads *** happened to them they look real bad

Put some rubber (fuel hose is good) between the ball end and the brake arm. This makes it a little easier on the servo's as some of the shock is taken up by the rubber, and there isn't a direct connection to the servo. Have a look at my setup [link=http://cgi.sparkstersworld.co.uk/hyper7_build/sp_images.php?filename=CIMG0313.jpg&action=spoof]sparkstersworld[/link]

its just a different desighn slightly easyer to adjust but ther are its goods and its bads do u have the ball ends if u do i think you should stick with them to be honest

Hey Richie,

My kit never came with the ball ends, but have been happy with the setup as is. I can imagine that with the ball ends you are assured of "no brakes" when accelerating as the arms are forced out.

Wouldn't the ball ends cause the car to brake at full throttle though? I think they would on my mbx5 because the brakes lock up when the arms are pushed either way.
