Mechanical Brakes

[jhautz]

I have the CD flipped around cuz I was running the Tekno CLutch in that buggy. I actually just got done flipping it back around to get rid of the clutch and reinstalling the mechanincal brake servos and linkage. Heres a picture on it finished and the dif flipped back around the right way.

jhautz, that is a sweet setup. Looks like the spacer will work out ok. I am glad this post generated interest and lead to another cool RC-Monster brushless option for those that want to run mech brakes.

well i broke my servo case today, dont know if its from the minor flex in the way it was mounted or if it was from the fixed object i hit, but i will using a plate on the bottem of servo for a flat surface secured thru the bottem of the chassis and screwed into axial stand-offs and then mounting the servo to them on the top side, should be more secure and rigid

i added rear brake only and am using mixing with electric brake . tested it last night and it works great.
with the long brake arm I have tons of leverage.
so far I tried 30 percent in the MM seems good.
when I enter a turn and tap the brake the rear comes around . turn off the rear brake and doing the same thing it pushes to the outside of the turn.

the cool thing is I can turn on and off the third channel while Im racing depending on track .

Ahh, I didn't know he had the Tekno clutch thingy.

got to run some yesterday, it is sweet, my skills suck but the truck ran great, now i just need to get at least one more battery and get my butt to the track
