The XB8 uses fuel tubing to fine tune the brakes and I didnt like the set-up at all. I went and got Kyosho K2-K3 linkage which uses springs and made a world of difference when setting up the brakes. Biggest noticeable difference was the stopping power.
It uses fuel tubing. I was thinking about getting one of those Dynamite linkage sets. I've had one on all of my vehicles. I would like to use springs instead, they're more linear and don't deteriorate.
Springs come with it instead of fuel tubing - this is a pic of an older revision

Hagasan: I'm going to experiment with the extra fiberglass disc for each side and with craddocks. Something tells me that I'm going to like the craddocks better and I'll be able to go to a weaker/faster (airtronics 360) servo. Everyone, please forgive me for sounding like a dummy as I'm new to monster trucks.
Just for grins, I put my buggy wheels on the trug. I was able to stop fast, really fast then, but that was to be expected. It was really funny to see though; laughing, milk came out of my nose and I wasn't even drinking milk...
