Hey everyone I just put a 16T robinson racing pinion on my 6s v4 and now my brake feel really weak. Would this change have an effect on my rc? Would I need to set my brakes up higher? Or could it be something else?

Yup, geared higher, the motor has less leverage to stop your truck. Bump up the brake force on the ESC.
You don’t have to, but you could go to the 46T spur from the Infraction/Felony but it would be a similar change to increasing your pinion and would reduce your brake effect even more.Awesome thanks man. This thing was already a beast now it is crazy with this 16t in there. My temps seem to be alright as well. Guess I didn't think about the gearing having that much of an effect on the brakes but it makes sense. Would you recommend a spur gear change as well?
