Thanks Guys. Now I'm gonna be die'in for some decent weather around here so I can test it out. I bet it wheelies alot less now with the new 2" longer wheelbase.

Yea I found the same thing with the stock brake arm/linkage setup. I would love to see the servo mount plate a little wider and have the servo offset closer to the side for the brake. It would let you use the stock servo arm then. This is what I used. http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products...ProdID=JRPA236
with this for the slider linkage

The actual connecting rods in the linkage are the stock ones and the little aluminum piece holding it all on the end of the rod is just a standard collar with a grub screw that came off of a old nitro brake assembly I ripped off of something when it was converted to electric.

I actually had all of these parts just sitting around in a parts bin left over from some other project where they didnt work out, but yes they did work out well for the arm length just by luck.
