Try the TTR S3 brakes. They are what AE used in the RC8 FT, and they're the best! They are fiber with a metal heat sink core insert.

A question!

I was on my 5th tank, (still running fairly rich for break-in) and i decided i'd go full throttle for about 2 seconds, the RPM dropped, and the sound was really low, is this just because it was getting too much fuel? or is the engine not broken in properly?

It's a bit like 0:39 on this vid http://au.youtube.com/watch?v=OnKLpO...eature=related

If that doesn't work, search "Thunder Tiger EB4 S2 Pro drive"

If you are running really rich still it will bog when opening to full throttle .
