Brake Rod not returning to idle position
 
Car is a Rush EVO, Gone through 2 pads so far the brake rod doesnt go back to idle position and causes the pad to grind down. I mad a little video showing this, i have to return the brakes to idle position by hand:

Should I just try to apply some kind of lubrication? Im kinda stumped on how to fix this, I figured the pressure from the brake pad would return the bar to idle position but it doesnt, it just eats up the pad.

Should I pick up a fiberglass brake disc?

A collar on the front side of the lever will bring it back when you hit the throttle.
It is also a good idea to use nylon washers between the collar and the brake lever to minimize metal to metal contact(radio interference)

No problem!
This is on an old RC10GT, but I assume that the brake operates the same way.
I hope this helps.
