no brakes

[FESCUE101]

i have a km baja and the brakes don't stop the baja at all no matter how much i tighten the little black thing next to the brake setup. what could be wrong and what should i look for? i don't want a hydrolic setup just fix the one i have and the servo works good.

Have you checked to see if your brake rotor's and pad's have worn out?
you could always upgrade to the 3 pad design for even better stopping power

check your servo operation, might not have enough pulling power to make the brakes grab

check your cam and the brake shaft position, if the shaft is to far in the cam it wont pull as much and its a shorter pull, so you may have to repostion the the shaft out a bit more to get a longer pull and you should see some difference,
or by chance the shaft didnt break and you just reused the broken brake shaft?

i took it apart and the upper rear plate has a crack were the brake set comes up through the hole on the left side of the hole. so i guess when the brake is engaged it opens up some not allowing the brakes to sqeeze together right. i am going to buy the thicker upper plate and i hope that solves the problem.

get a tr 1 piece upper brake mount, that will solve the issue. and a set of D's brake pads.

I had a similar problem the other day at the park, my Terminator would not stop no matter what i did. I looked at the brake setup and found out that my middle disk fin was missing so no matter how much the servo would put pressure it would not stop.
