That said, one thing I have helped a lot of guys with is their brake setup. A lot guys didn't the brake linkage set properly. The two "arms" that connect to the brake linkage have a lot of mechanical throw before the brakes actually engage so to mitigate this issue, you will want to move the collet thats closest to the front of the car a little closer to the rear, if that makes any sense. This way when you hit the brakes, the brakes actually engage, otherwise the first half of the brake travel doesn't actually do anything and your brakes will feel soft. I will try to post pictures later.
I have mine setup that was as well; fine balance with so much tension on the two springs I have on the braking side and the throttle spring when the servo is at neutral though (always fighting the springs).
