Sup my nerds? Ive again found myself outwitted by a simple problem… the ebrake on this infraction I just acquired, is always on full brake and only comes off when I turm the wheel left or right. So basically the opposite of what you’d want it to do 🤬. I’ve tried 2 different dx3 remotes and both do the same. How exactly do I unfuck this dirty little bastard..?

Strip the ebrake unit out 😉👊

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! WHYYYYYYYYYY? I kinda like it 🤷🏼‍♂️ it’s not my call to make anyways. Not exactly adding a whole lot of weight and this is t a Mugen MBX8R eco…where guys add 30gram weights to balance it lol. but is it actually something a lot of guys do? just ripping out the ebrake?
Which channel is the brake servo plugged into?
It’s on ch3

Most here bash it but personally I left it in one of my fireteam and my infraction as I think they're great. You need to figure out how to change the chan settings on that radio though. Easy to do with radiolink but I don't know what you have to do for dx3.

Toss that Hand Brake already dude. It is useless fluff. Why is it NOT your call anyway??? :unsure: You lost me on that one!
I know exactly what your problem is there. Part of the problem is the manual adjustment and also that crappy RTR 3 channel radio,, along with the crappy Spektrum HB servo doesn't offer any dedicated 3rd channel "Trimming". It is either full H. brake or not. (n) Arrmas first mistake.. I can help further, But...........I'll let others explain it for you.
I tossed my HB on my stock heavy 16.25 pound running weight FireTeam. And not because I am saving a stupid 3 grams or whatever. The HB is just Novelty Marketting Fluff with no real practical use at all whatsoever.
Get it out of your system if need be, then yank it out. At the very least unplug it from the Rx. I hope you weren't enticed buying the V2 Infr just because of this silly HB and are stuck on this Fluff. It is not anything great at all. With a poor design execution.
Just a BEC amperage Overhead liability at best. Worse case is what you are now having issues with.
You need to read the Radio manual better to understand why it was improperly designed, implemented, and controlled.
That HB ruined the V2 IMHO. One excuse to raise the V2 Infr pricing with some additional Marketting Box art to show off.
You never see any Videos out there with guys using it anyway.
And the speed runner guys will NEVER keep it on the chassis. It gets tossed first thing out the box. Just makes the chassis all bloated. The HB servo alone draws Idle amps from the BEC, whether you use it or not.
I would want the Steering servo and Receiver to get all the available ESC's BEC amps exclusively. The priority. And the floating HB Disk interferes with the Rear Drive shaft rotating smoothly and Center diff's Rear Output cup.

I love the e-brake in the infraction 🤷‍♂️

Took it out of my fireteam right away though.
 
Yeah as said above, it's marketing crap, toss it with all the spektrum crap in the bin and get some decent electronics

I love the handbrake feature, never thought i would use it but yeah i love it, comes in very handy actually. ;)

Especially driving fpv, the e brake gets you out of trouble.

Once the factory electronics, servo's etc start to get tired, the e brake will get a very strong servo, it need's to be strong for 100kmh hand brake turns.
