Brakes binding.

[harrington81]

Hi everyone! I have a problem with brakes binding on my 5ive-t. I purchased the modified Rc centre diff mount because I thought the brakes were binding with the stock mount but it didn't help. I've been through 3 sets of discs with all of them seizing up on me. I loosened the brake adjusters to where I have less braking now but there's not enough to slow the car down properly.
Has anyone experienced binding?

You have to set trim and travel on you radio make sure you do right ie end points are good but pretty sure that's were the issue is

You can put pen springs on the linkage to push brake cams back when you use the throttle.

How do I set end points with the stock radio? I can't understand what u mean with springs?

Here is a good guide for setting up your throttle endpoint and brakes. You might also check out Set up guide #2 for travel rates.

I guess there's no way to set the end points on the stock DX2E transmitter is there?

I think I got it. My throttle servo is throwing way to long when I brake. I will try to hook up my other radio so I can adjust the travel.
Thank u

One thing that can cause the brakes to bind or not release is having the top plate screws too tight and binding up the brake cams. move the cams back and forth and make sure they are loose and free.
