Default Better Break

How or what do i need to do to make my break's stop on a a dime cause my breaks made me crash into a curbe today and i had to gorilla glue my shock tower's little shock post that the screw goes into broke off but the gorilla glue is holding better than it used to i can pick my whole rusty up from that spot. but what can i do to make my breaks stop on a dime like my home boy -DRE-'s Team Associated TC3 his stop's on a DIME. how can i get mine to do it

i am not certain on the breaks. i know what to do but i do not want to mess up your car. although i say find some after market shock tower parts and you can do a lot more without breaking anything.

take off the spring on your linkage and replace it with fuel tubing...

its a nitro rustler. sorry i thought i said it was a nitro rustler my bad guys. and also i was wondering what kinda shock towers are the most recomended for the rustler my cousin's dad ownes a machine shop and then some. and if need be i MIGHT be able to get him to custom make our own shock towers but for simplicity's *spell check* sake i would just rather buy it here are some pics of my nitro rusty with the things i have done to it now.

Not sure if Rusty brakes are similer to Jato or not but theres a great mod for Jato that locks them up every time check Jato forums at traxxas

Make certain that your battery has a good charge. The servo pulling on your brake lever needs some decent current from your battery to effectively stop the wheels. You can also adjust the collar on the rod going from your servo to the brake lever, to make the brakes grab sooner.
