I know I am doing something dumb but can't seem to figure it out.  Both Mini-z's I have spin out immediately after touching the brake  Angry.  If I even look at the brake spin out Huh?.  One Mini-z is bock stock the other is a MRCG1.1 with PN Racing Diff.  So what is the secret to getting these things to brake.

Thanks,

Box stock is no good. If you are running stock tires it will spinning out almost if you look at it.

What tires are you running?   Also if you can adjust the brake high point on your radio that will help too.   I will say that you shouldn't be using your brake to much as you want to carry that speed through the corners.   I almost never use brake when I'm racing.

The biggest issue is that the car is very lite so it can unsettlle the car.

The stock one has stock tires.  The MRCG  has PN racing Type-X 6 Deg on the rear and Type-X 15 Deg on the front.  I have adjusted the radio but even with that the car will spin if I take the power off and to much power in hte corner and it spins.  I think that could be due to the bad gear meshing their seems to be to much drag in the drive line.  If I back the brake to fair back then I don't have reverse.

So I put the PN racing tires and a set of bearing in the stocker.  Oh Yeah Smiley! what a difference.  With the Losi Micro SCT we are running the Truggy tires just to get a little more turning.  It is a blast to drive a car that has to much steering which is really easy to fix via the radio big-grin.

Thanks!

What radio are you using? You should be able to counter the low brake setting either with the throttle high point setting or the throttle subtrim.
