Mechanical Brakes

Hi offroader, yes I considered a "Y" harness. One issue is when you pull the throttle on your radio the brake servo will move to the on throttle position as well. More wear and tear on the servo. With brake mixing on channel 3 the servo does not move when throttle is applied. Thanks for the comments.

Good thinking I never even thought of that extra wear on servo's I'm guessing it must draw extra power too. Thanks for the heads up.

Interesting mod there shark. I was going to do something similar with my ultra gtp. I would turn the servo 90 deg, so it sat sideways, with the brake cam closest to the center. That way there would be enough room for the pinion, and the body would not have to be altered (in your case, I have a sedan body). This would require making a new top plate, but that would not be too difficult, and it could be one piece.
