Aluminum mechanical breaks

[RcAlchemy]

So I purchased the aluminum mechanical breaks from Rovan for my Baja 5B and ran into a road block. I have the calipers and pads installed but unsure how to run the cables with the extra aluminum hardware thats included. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Hey word of warning. IDK what rovan metals are made out of but don't be like me. I used a small bit of red locktite to keep them on and its almost like I welded them together. Use blue. Not helpful for your question but I thought I'd atleast save a soul.

I’m using blue loctite. It’s what I use on my 1:8 scales. Thanks for the warning.

Pictures dude . Pretend we have no idea what your talking about. I have hydraulic on mine.

think the hydraulic is a bit better tbh. The steel cable ones just lock up with dirt and cause your servo to not be able to apply break over time.

I finally figured it out, I have them set for a subtle stop. Just wanted a little extra help to stop the momentum. I’ll take pic tomorrow as I have to take off my wheels. They actually were a pain to tweak but I have them stopping at almost the exact same time.
