Hey guys what brakes are most of you using? I am on my 5th Losi 8ight and it seems like every one I have problems with the stock brakes. I don't know if my pad to caliper clearance isn't right or what. But I always try to set it to where at idle there is NO drag at all on the brakes. But even like that my pads seem to be dragging and even when I apply the brakes they don't stop the buggy like they should. Seems like no braking power even with a high torque servo. I even tried the trinity spring things and it didn't seem to change anything. Actually it seemed to make it worse. I have a new set of Advantage Drilled brake discs here but when I went to put them on they fit REAL loose over the diff outdrives. They had tons of slop so I put the stockers back on for now.

Just looking for opinions that may help me......
