yp red whaTS up i just took pic of the car i will put them up tomorrow.. but check this out i think i figured out how the brake thing works i noticed that the brake disk was kinda of loose i moved it around a little and adjusted the link no i have brakes but what i wanna know is like let say your going mad fast and i hit the brakes should the car stop on a dime or take like a sec or 2?

(i think i need new brakes!!)

one more ?uestion.. i know this is not the forum for this ?? but do you know how to make a light kit for the cars, i dont know if your are into makeing light for your bodies but i want to make one body with light. like neons, headlights and brake lights.. i went to radio shack i looks at all the led's and doides but i dont know how to go about putting it together..

Hey big , Got the pics of the brake system, now to me it looks like you have room to reset the servo arm forward some and that'll give you more adjustment on the linkage, now by doing that youll have to adjust the carb. linkage also ,so dont start the engine until you do that, If the brakes are set correctly the wheels well lockup and it'll throw you into a slide for max. braking , lighting kits are cool for looks but thats about it if your still interested go to Ebay they have them there all the time, universal kits that is, so your engine running okay?

so you are telling me that when i brake i should be able to lock up the wheels and slide?
cause i said before that i did fix them enough to make me stop but not locking, that would be cool. so where is the servo for the brakes at?

Follow the brake linkage from the disc to the servo. Now if your happy with the brake setup that you are currently running then leave it , and if not then just mess with it a little until your satisfied with it takes very small adjustments, RED

Explain what you mean for me , were you able to get your brakes set up the way you wanted? Try to keep wires away from metal parts on the chassis known to cause glitching , RED

Yes if you opt to do so , Personally the black screws work the best, there stronger then the blue ones , just make sure you use the blue locktite when using the screws , metal to metal espcially , RED
