braking problem

[doosh]

hey guys is it my car or do all rc cars have poor braking..???

i can lock the wheels on mine with no problems ....yours might need adjusting ...try sanding the brake disk with fine sand paper to give it more grip ..and make sure there is no glazing on the pads

i have adjusted it to be pretty tight.. it will lock up when i test it before driving the car but after a few runs the breaks just fail

Maybe servo? My servo went out. i could gas just fine but when trying to break, it would not break at all (probably not your problem but worth mentioning)

 

[Macguyver]

what kind of car is it ????

 

[doosh]

the servo is fine it goes into full lock position...

Macguyver: i have a traxxas nitro sport

either your brakes are bad ..need adjusting ...or your servo is weak ..thats all i can think of
