i would check the disc's first. easier then taking apart the linkages and loosing your brake settings.

I'll set them up closer since the rear disc is so small, I may have to get used to using a tiny bit more front brake since this truck turns so well, I never have had to brake steer it. I also run it with nearly zero delay in breaking and dubro fuel tubing on the links last a long time. So I am guessing that it is brake bias more than anything else.

does sound like your brake bias . you can tighten them up to a reasonable setting you like and the trim your epa down on the handset and you wont have a problem with any flexing issues

I have several hours in my brake set up and I place a high percentage of good lap times on braking. Right now it is perfect but the radio tray is flexing and I use quite a bit of exponential curve to make them smooth and easy to use. I am going to go back to the drawing board and get the front brake more involved. If it reduces or eliminates the flex, I will be surprised. I have noticed that many of the pro- drivers use stiffeners and they all use brakes at a way higher level than most club racers, some use a ton of drag brake and I'm just not good enough to master that...I've tried and it was a disaster.

You may need to stick with monster trucks, if you're bashing, the losi can't take the beating. I have run the losi trucks since they came out, rarely do I change out any parts. I occasionally change the bearings. They are not the toughest vehicles though

With normal center and front diffs 2k or 3k is good. I run 5k in the rear with the center and front smart diffs.
