Sounds like your linkage needs some adjustment. The brakes should stop the vehicle easily. Take up all the slack you can without making them drag. I had to add a longer piece of fuel tubing under the adjusting knob on mine.

there is no actual instructions for this either...anyone has a idiot pic would be real helpful...lost totally on this

heres a pic its a little loose in the pic. you can adjust the length of tubing to fix it

so the spring they got in there doesn't actually cut it...toss it aside? and use tubing for a more direct contact?

 

[bgbdwlf2500]

yep, pretty much

That's what I did :yes:

same here however i kept the spring and add a little fuel tubing to it between the spring and linkage.works great.

put a longer piece of fuel tubing test if it works if it doesn't adjust the knob to the right if that doesn't work turn the screws that press on the brake disc but make sure that when u start with adjusting the screws you flush the little knob to edges and start adjusting from there
