Throttle end point
#1

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.

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.
