Throttle end point
 

I finally upgraded my throttle servo in my RC8. I am now running Savox 1256 for steering and 1257 for throttle. I dialed in the end point for the throttle side, but thats a no brainer. My question is for the brakes. Right now I have it turned down to 35% and it still pulls the brakes pretty hard, but seems to work the servo. I know there is no way around being hard on the servo when it comes to braking, but I just want to get an idea of where I should put my EP. I am running an M11. Thanks guys.

Just keep it at 35% if you like the feel of that, if you want more brakes, higher it, less brakes, lower it. I won't hurt the servo.

I used to set my servo at 50% for brakes in the past even though 40% was enough. Set it as my failsafe as well.

One day my transmitter failed and the failsafe kicked in. Was taking my sweet time walking to my car when I heard a pop and saw smoke from my car. It was a high end Sanwa servo as well... Now I set my brakes epa to as low as it would allow me to stop my car the way i want it to.

I'll keep it at 35. Seems to brake good. Much better than it did with the RTR servo. It only had 39oz/in of torque. This thing is night and day from that POS. 4 times the torque and more than twice as fast.

I also have fried a servo with the brakes, since that experience I set it to where I know it's not enough and just take it to the track and add more little by little until its where i want it based off the performance.

There's no number that you should run for brake EPA. Depending on your linkage and dead band it could be anywhere between 12 and 50.

Set a 1mm gap before the front and rear brakes are engaged. Set the EPA so you get enough brake. Then adjust the collars individually to set the front rear brake bias. I usually run 40% front and 60% rear.

More front brake is more stable. More rear brake is more steering.
