I have just got a 1/8 scale buggy (ROBITRONIC PROTOS... READ MY REVIEW) and it has 2 disk brakes but i have NO IDEA how to set em up.
Any advice because atm I'm running brakeless and it can be a pain when ur going flat out and all of a sudden start to lose control and head towards a big tree haha
 
Not trying to be rude, but have you read the manual?
 
Scrogg, most manuals tend not to cover adjusting brakes, my t/tiger one does'nt.

I had to look through the parts catalog at the exploded diagrams to even get a clue as to how to adjust them.

Then i found that i could adjust them two ways.

1) Set the throttle/brake linkages
2) tighten the allen bolts by 1 turn each per pad until satisfactory braking occurs.

Hope that helps and this post is not considered as :OT: or :spam
