the breaking system on my hyper pbs really sux, anyone got any cheep ways to make it a little better? thanks

the stock brakes work fine,,,yours maybe need adjustment.

I was running the 4-disk system for a while, I'm running Craddock's now.
The both worked great when adjusted right

I had no problems with my stock PBS brakes. the do start to fade and need minor adjustments after a while.

I have only the hyper tq sport, since i installed the fuel line on the brake linkage, brake engage better than before.

If you are running the stock servo, change it to a hi torque servo.

Stock brakes are fine. Even the two disc system. You either need to adjust something, or get a better servo.

i think its the servo, it doesnt seem to pull on verry well. also whats this about the fuel line, can u expline a little better, any pics?

Put some short pieces of fuel tubing between the collar and the brake arm. You can also put some small washers between the tubing and arms. It softens the initial hit of the brakes, and makes for more controllable braking.

My hyper BREAKS really do suck, they are way to short and I'm called upon to get back to work far too soon.

On the other hand my hyper BRAKES are brill they will lock up the wheels with the stock servo quite happilly. Check your pad gap.

I have the same experiences Alex.

ok, ok, i think we all do what is the pad gap and how wide should it be

I like to hold the pads squashed up to the disks, wind in the screws till they just touch and then back them out 1/4 turn. This should give you 0.25mm of play and allow the car to role along in neutral without the brakes binding.

What are craddocks?

btw I'm running the 4 disc setup with a Futaba S9350 (133oz tq) and it locks em up and drags front end. I'm currently trying to get my front brakes to grab less. I want to be able to brake and turn.

well there u go, shows how much i know[&:] i didnt even know u could adjust the BREAKS

Of course you can, just hide in the toilets and they last longer.

It is very hard to set the car up with enough bias to allow you to have much turning while braking unless you are on a super high traction track
You really should think about geting you braking doen before you need to turn. I have mine set up as good as I can and under full brake, the car wil still push.

I had a problem with my x1 cr brakes, found that cutting a small amount of the pad away where the springs would touch the pad helped huge. the springs were not compressing enough to let the pads grab the disc properly.

Dont have springs on the hyper brakes in the way your thinking of though.

He must be talking about the throttle tension spring,,if it's too tight the servo will bind before the brakes engage.
It's all about having the linkage set up correctly

I have a LX Comp ans was wondering if I can cut some of the fuel lines and put it with the brakes, but how much and how?

i did the fuel line trick on the hyper, it really works, thanks
