Brake Setup & Adjustment
Jato is equipped with an adjustable disc brake. The brake is preset at the
factory and should not require attention. As the brake material wears,
future adjustments may be necessary.
Brake Shoulder Screw Adjustment
The two shoulder bolts that are used to secure the
brake pads to the transmission housing may need
to be adjusted periodically as the brake material
wears down. They should be tightened so an
approximate .5mm (.020") gap exists between the
disc and the brake pad (on the transmission side).
Adjust the brake by first pushing the outer brake pad firmly against the
inner pad with your finger, sandwiching the brake disc between the brake
calipers. Tighten the brake shoulder bolts until they just barely touch the
brake pads. Do not over tighten these fasteners or you may damage the
brake disc or pads. Loosen each of the shoulder bolts by 1 turn.
Brake Linkage Adjustment
When correctly adjusted, the brake linkage
spring should barely touch the rod guide when
the servo is in neutral position (radio system
on, closed throttle). This will ensure no brake
drag during operation of the vehicle. The
brake adjustment knob can be turned counter
clockwise away from the spring for less braking
power if desired. Do not adjust the knob to
apply pressure against the spring while the servo is in the neutral position.
This will induce brake drag and cause undesirable handling.
Brake Pad Wear and Replacement
During normal use, the brake disc wears at a slow rate. If the disc wears
down to about 1.8mm in thickness, it should be replaced. Any more wear
than this could cause damage to the brake parts and improper operation
of the brake system.
