ok everytime i move my throttle servo with my radio it makes a clicking noise and it is hard to use the brakes, wtf could be wrong?
 
I'm sure you've already checked out the obvious things like a binding linkage so I would first take a good look at the brake assembly. Take the linkage off the servo and move it by hand to see if you can feel any binding in the brake assembly. I would even go as far as removing the lever and actuator part of the brake just to make sure that there's nothing inside like sand or something binding the brake movement. I think the alternative might be a broken gear tooth in the throttle servo? If so it may be a good time to upgrade the servo. More is better.
 
Sounds like a broken tooth on one of those cheap plastic gears, you can either buy a new set of gears and save some money or go buy a HiTech HS-645MG servo........has 133 oz of torque and metal gearing (good for the steering, but can also be used for throttle/brake apps.)
