It's 1/8 nitro buggy, there are two problems with brake,

1. It brakes a bit it self after i release trigger from almost full throttle.

2. Braking reaction is 1or 2 secs slower than i after brake it ( braking was powerfull enough even servo reaction too ).

I wana know reasons these happens.
I hope it's just braking setting or battery problem
 
Try a new battery and set your standard trim
Edit: four AA batteries, and most 6v battery packs quickly turn weak from my experience.
Edit #2: when at idle, try wiggling your brake discs with your finger. If possible, it's not the cause of the problem👍🏻 I'd also look further then, perhaps there's too much/thick grease somewhere

Without pics and video, linkage adjustment is what quickly comes to mind.
Verify that all the parts are there and in the corect order, then adjust as the manual recommends.
Hanging pads or incorrect pads maybe too?
