I don't seem to have great braking on my .25
I have a ofna fail safe connected to the throttle/brake servo so that when I shut off the controller, the brakes lock up.
It seems that when the fail safe is activated, there is more lock up torque than if I were to just apply the brakes normally through the controller.
I notice while looking at the servo, that it deffinitely moves further with the fail safe applied than with brakes applied normally.
I have the double disk brake set up.
I thought about getting a high torque servo just for the throttle/brake but was also wondering if there is another solution to this.
BTY....batteries were fully charged.

thanks

Check the manual that came with your radio. You might be able to adjust the throw of your servo arm. What brand/model is your radio?
 
It sounds like your End Point Adjustment (EPA) needs to be dialed in. The radio is not allowing the servo arm to fully swing 100%. I don't have that radio, but maybe someone will post on how to change it.

Later....:mex:
 
Thanks.........I found the answer in the manual to the radio.
It's a new radio and was so used to the basic adjustments on the stock radio.
Now that I actually flipped through the manual, there are some really cool adjustments this Futaba can do including solving my problem.

thanks
