Simon, we know that - you've written it about 10 times in this thread and countless other times in the other thread you've started about the EZ run, but what you're asking can be interpreted in several different ways - do you actually mean it comes to a stop 10 seconds after you hit the brakes? Do you mean, it coasts for 10 seconds and then comes to a stop or do you mean it keeps accelerating and 10 seconds later it starts to brake and comes to a stop? Explain everything fully mate and we can help you as we know EXACTLY what is going on.

Anyhow, back to what I asked, are the rear wheels locking? Do they physically stop rotating but the buggy keeps going (like the skids you used to do on a bike when you were 12?).

If you answer the questions asked, it helps people rule out every cause of you problem. By doing this people will want to help you, rather than just getting annoyed with you asking the same thing over, and over, and over, and over.... For example, I'm using my own personal experience here by asking you that question as on my 2WD drive car, if the brakes are set too hard/high, the rear wheels lock up and it doesn't appear to stop.

i have re set the diff and its still the same i put it down to the handset and esc that why the brakes come on a little bit and not full brakes ,

bigred5765 12-10-2009 04:02 PM

but didnt you say you had used the same hand set and esc on both cars and it works better in one car than the other??

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 04:05 PM

i have got a ezrun in the madrat 9t combo and a traxxas handset and in my b4 ezrun 5.5t and a traxxas handset set . and yes the both work better in the madrat :confused:

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 04:07 PM

it stop but no faster another plus brakes are set to 100%

bigred5765 12-10-2009 04:13 PM

if one is a 9t and the other a 5.5 its probabaly going faster so will take longer to stop

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 04:17 PM

i understand that but it like the brakes are crap on it
no because the 5.5 t work fine in the madrat brakes are very good

i4n 12-10-2009 04:29 PM

If you've done all I've recommended in the PM then it can only be the electronics, but as you say they work better in the Rat than the B4 I'm still thinking something is wrong with the car - it's the basics of fault finding, if you substitute equipment and the problem remains it is what hasn't changed at fault, in this case your B4. As others have said, it would be a lot easier if we could get our hands on the car so I'm afraid I'm all out of ideas Simon, I'd suggest taking it to a local model shop (with your radio gear etc), telling them what is happening and the let them sort it out.

For your future reference, here is a link to the .pdf version of the manual (2 seconds on Google looking for "Associated B4 Manual" found it) http://aedownloads.com/downloads/man...tb4_manual.pdf download it, print it out and keep a copy with the car as it will answer loads of your questions.

Ashley 12-10-2009 08:01 PM

Hi does your sons madrat stop all of a sudden?

Try drag brake on your b4 you will need to set that through the programming card though.

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 08:09 PM

the madrat stop dead and the b4 stop but know were as good as the madrat . and the spur are hard to set it right b4

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 08:24 PM

so if it locks the wheels in reverse and not in forward driving,might it be the case Ur actually driving the car with revers as forwards and forwards as revers and u just revered your tranny to make it right, i read that some were if you change any two wires on the ezrun it reverses the direction of the motor???PS don't think any speedo has breaks in revers mode ??

stampede vxlboy 12-10-2009 10:09 PM

i set it all but the brakes are like that because of the power i have tryed turning the wires around and when you go forward on the handset it goes in reverse and when you go in reverse in forwards

thanks for all the help guys hope to see you at a track soon
