I'm having big issues with my breaks.... its hard to explain, but my breaks arent very good. I tried adjusting the breaks, but when I make it so it has more breaks, it has more drag. When I make it have less drag, i have no breaks, etc. Would someone with a good working break setup please post a picture of your break setup? (showing all linkages) Thats all I'm asking. I just want to look at the picture and do exactly what it looks like so I can have breaks again. Thanks!

BTW, I have an mbx-5... so anyone with a good mbx-5 break setup, that would be awesome...
 
Not sure if this will make a difference for you or not but I use fuel tubing between the collars and the linkage on the cam. Also on the rear disk if it is a single you can take a spring from a ball point pen and cut it to a size that will fit and put it on the post that pads ride on. It will keep you pads seperated when no brake is applied. I have my Revo set up that way.
 
I got the Dynamit pro-tune linkage kit for my PCR Pro, it makes adjustments very easy, and is a very nice set up overall. I would highly recommend it and it only costs around $10
 
Yay problem solved. The rear linkage was facing too much towards the engine which created drag. Now its drag free and I have brakes!

I just realized i spelled brake wrong lol.
