I think you mentioned your going to be racing on hard packed dirt/clay which is exactly what i will be racing on. Hopefully we can share some setup up tips in the future as there are very few people running this buggy stateside.

Anyway, im trying to understand your last post and i think i know what you mean. When you apply the brakes, is the brake linkage stopper hitting the servo arm? this is a problem i had, my solution was to bend the linage away from where it was hitting and it appears i am getting full braking, but i wont be 100% sure until i get it broken in and running. The brake linkage should be longer than what they tell you in the instruction manual so the stopper doesnt hit.

Heres my setup

Team Magic M1-Turbo
Go Technology turbo 7 port
052 dynamite platinum pipe
ace ds1015 steering servo
ace ds1313 throttle servo
Dx 3.0 radio< which i am waiting for still

another thing i noticed last night is the lack of front front sway bar with the ones provided, the rear sway is much thicker so i moved this one to the front and the front to the rear. they are different lengths so the front protrudes a bit where the linage is an the rear is barley long enough, hopefully this will give some better rear traction, i also added some weight to the back that hopefully will help.
