Hey All
I hope someone can help me. I just bought my first nitro RC car and it took me awhile but I think I got the idling and all sorted. It just feels like the car takes to long to stop or even to slow down when approaching a corner. Is there anything that I can do to improve this?

Thank You
 
Check your owner's manual for brake adjustment. If it's anything like the HPI Savage, it's a knob adjustment like below:
It's the gray knob about 1/3 from the left of the pic.

Thank You for your reply. The Bullet doesn't have that grey knob but I downloaded the manual and will have a look what I can see there

Thanks

If its a buggy, then it should look like this:

To adjust, tighten or loosen those two screws you see on the brake calipers.
