Also, after the various dialog about the brakes/linkage, I ended up with what is in the image below. Was hoping to test it out this weekend but there is a $50,000 fishing derby up here that I just cant resist (that buys a lot of tires!) so it will have to wait a bit longer. Parts are from the JQ white edition (no clue if they're different from the yellow or original), mostly because I have a thing for orange (disregard the lone original collet there, I have another JQ bag on the way
). I trimmed the spring bit by bit until I got a tension that seemed good and also that the servo didnt object to. Sure hope it helps out.
Your brake setup is the almost exactly the same as mine, I too used JQ stuff but silver version and used the small springs to make my brakes more progressive and it works really well. I spent a lot, A LOT, of time working on my brakes setup and finally have it where I want.
By the way, I love that power button but the Kyosho one has a full LED reading to show battery life and some other cool features, unfortuatenly its more expensive. Thunder Innovations has an aluminum orange version of the one you have, thought you might like that, check the link.
