Well my brakes are working but I would like to make it stop more early I read an article about putting springs any other ways?
 
On my Super nitro I tightened the screws on the brake plates and that stopped me earlier. U can try that.
 
ok i forgot about trying that also i tryed to use spirngs fron pens but the springs are too small anyone know what kind of pen or what size spring?
 
I take it you have a t-maxx if your trying the pen spring trick. I never had good luck finding the right springs for that mod. The springs dont actually help with better breaking, what it does is it keeps the break pads from rubbing up against the break disc so there's no friction. What you can do is replace than small peice of rubber tubing they put on the break rod with a slightly longer peice of fuel tubing. That should increase the breaking power. Be sure to adjust the metals collars to accommodate the thicker fuel tubing. Hope that helps.
