Ihave a earthquake 3.0, anyways this thing has been a headache since Ibought it my problem is is when Ihit the brakes to stop and then realease them it actually pulls the carbuerator open and tries to take off on me. Ihave pulled the air filter off (vehicle not running) nd literally watched it Ipush the brakes and realease and it opens the carbuerator like Iwas hitting the throttle can someone please explain to me whats causing this? Oh and when Ihit the gas after it does this it returns to idle.

Sounds like you have a reciver and controller problem or the servo setting is reversed. Did you just get it? If so where from?

Check your servo horn make sure its not flexing while your breaking as it could be the cause of the forn moving to much and causing it to actually open the throttle up.
