well on the original z... it\'s kinda tricky to do... when you do brake, brake while your wheels are straight, if you brake with your wheels turned, you\'ll be in trouble and might spin out. practice by tapping it forward very lightly...

otherwise you can just glide through the curves - fully letting go off the throttle into the turn, and full throttle out of the curve... general idea is slow into the curve, and fast going out...

if you have a programmable transmitter/ controller, you can dial in how much braking power you want...

for the f-1\'s they already have brakes... so once again... it\'s slow into the curve and fast out of the curve hope this helps

What I usually do with my stock Mini-Z is that I would release the throttle a little right before I corner and go full throttle immediately afterward.

I powerslide so nyah :p

Usually i will lay off the trigger almost all the way, just until the gears stop lashing and then give it just enough steerage to get it started sliding into the apex. Then i start applying small amounts of throttle until the slide is over. Then i punch it.

I am running the middle chassis length on gpm wide rims/tires and a ball diff set on the loose side.
