Question about the brakes

[Rooky]

hi everyone. just a quick question about brakes. While i was cleaning my car, i got some of the WD-40 on to the brake pads, and when i brake with RC, my car can be pushed forward or pulled backward with wheel spining. its kinda hard to push it tho, but the wheel moves. what should i do??

starting fluid for a street truck. should clean the disk fine.

what about brake fluid? and nitro car cleaner?? any of those fluid works?

I'd try the Nitro cleaner. It's basically just oil that you got on there so anything designed to get rid of oil should work.

how stiff should they grab??

unmoveable or just enough to slow down?

On mine, if the car is stopped and I do full brakes, it won't move. But at speed if I slam on the brakes, it takes a few seconds for it to stop.

Depending on the adjustment and with everything in decent working order you should be able to lock the brakes fully (if you wanted too) to where you can push the rc and the wheels will slide. Or if you like, apply the brake at speed and the rc will do a front endo.
Brake adjustment is a personal preference. Some like a brake that can be locked down when they want; others prefer to just be able to slow the rc down from high speed without the brake locking up.
