Hey guys,
I picked up an RD Logics SHO on Friday. This is my first 1/8 scale buggy, and I have to say so far I'm impressed with it.
I have 1 problem that I can't seem to figure out.
The buggy has 4 disc brakes. 2 forward of the center diff and 2 rearward.
I got the servo throw adjusted to engage the brake arms completely when the brakes are applied. The fronts work great, but the rear brakes just seem to drag lightly. They don't engage fully. Is this normal ( to control the buggy under braking )? If not, how do I adjust the distance between the 2 rear discs and the brake shoes?

you will notice that the linkage from the servo arm to the brakes have knurled edges on the stops. Turn the front brake out a lithe bit. In a buggy its better to get the rear brakes a litle more than the front.
