Installing the brake linkage
During operation the brake pads wear over time causing weakening of the brakes. In order to compensate
you should extend the brake linkage by turning it.
1. Make sure you assemble the brake linkages with the dimensions as indicated below.
2. Connect the upper linkage to the front brake and the bottom linkage to the rear brake as indicated in
Figure F.
3. After the linkages are installed, switch on your radio and reduce the brake end point from the transmitter
EPA menu to %30.
4. Apply full brake from the trigger and hold.
5. By moving the car back and forth with your hand, start slightly increasing EPA to approx. %50 untill the brakes lock.
6. If it doesn’t lock at %50 turn back to the step 1 and re-adjust.
7. After the brakes are functioning properly adjust the brake bias by using the collars as indicated in
Figure F
.
8. After the step 7 is complete your brake set-up is finished.
