Is this how all 1/8 buggies are, or can I adjust this out with the brake bias?
I'm assuming I want the front brake to engage later, so I would adjust the linkage to engage later, but maybe i'm all backwards.

your headed the right direction, brake bias is key on cornering during breaking, also be sure to have the proper diff oils in, i always start off with this.
front=5
center=7
rear=2
this will be in tyhe ball park of most common setups, and you can then get a good feel on the car, but your looking for more rotation through the turn so reduce front bias, and you will feel the change right away.
