My first losi 5t 2.0

You are joking mine are no where near locking up I’m adjusting the servo rods if I adjust to much they bind to much same with the brake pad screws

Gotta play with the linkages and end point adjustments to get what you need for your truck and driving style bro.

well while I was breaking the engine they want even working I've played with the radio played with adjusting it had the disks out this is from day one

 

[crucialRC]

Give this a go bruh

 

[a6lns]

Ok watched it but most off it is upgraded

Huh? Its stock linkage and stock brakes

 

[DougStar]

Stock brakes on a losi are great ? never felt like they needed an upgrade ??

 

[a6lns]

Ok can’t understand it then brand new truck and brakes are no good that linkage ant like mine for a start and disk ant the same thicker and got a mat finish mine is shiny so it’s not the same

 

[Seandonato73]

Post up some pics mate, I cant remember any 5ive not having that linkage set up

 

[a6lns]

What I’m saying is the linkage are all been upgraded disks and servos not all stock

 

[Seandonato73]

Ok, why did you swap out the factory brakes disks? Were they damaged? What make of servo did you swap out for? Is the aftermarket linkage set up the same way as the factory linkage? A picture would really help out here.

 

[crucialRC]

Damn its like pulling teeth on this one?

It doesn’t matter if it’s an upgraded system or not the properties and way they work are all the same. If you aren’t getting breaking first adjust your endpoints if you need more then screw in the linkages to the arm then if it binds back it out a bit till you get free movement. That is the only way to adjust braking. I don’t mean this to sound harsh because we all go through this when learning a new rig but I’m 99% sure that the problem is you and your knowledge on the machine and not the rig itself. Keep going and don’t get discouraged and you will have it sorted in no time.

I’ve had nitros I used to race truggy I’ve had these for a least 25 yrs

? so it’s sorted now

 

[Seandonato73]

? so it’s sorted now

Better watch out or @Brap Will shadow ban you too ?

To put it simple...you twist the rods so the stops get closer to the eyelets when the servo is in a relaxed position..."do this with the radio set on"... with the servo in the relaxed "neutral " position I have mine just touching the eyelets... when you hit the brakes you should see the rubber hose crunch up ...that means you have braking power... my losi locks up on a dime so its you not the truck

 

[a6lns]

Right just put my brakes back together taken them out last night and cleaned them they seem better but I’m wondering if it’s the crap coming out off the standard pipe going all over the brakes etc

 

[Seandonato73]

Could be, it is what's left of the oil/fuel puking out of the exhaust

 

[a6lns]

Just got to get a better pipe
