Well I have been thinking and this thought came to me "I wounder if I could design a holding break like the one on Griffon Shekra ecx.. ecx.. and after a few days of work this is what i came out with...

well hears the Tut for it

First you will start out with one blue conector on the top rod and none on the bottom




next is the switch
































This dose require you to break a rod you could do this with a hack saw or, if you happen to have a rod this length already broken this length you could use that if it is a little bit different in length don't worry it will still work.

this is the length














Trouble Shooting:

If the connectors are falling off the cut rod try hot gluing the 90* connector to the cut rod.

If the car comes too fast and misses the break rod, try moving the yellow gear back and forth until you get it to work or, try a longer rode for the break rod.

If you have any other questions feel free to P.M me or to post them hear and I will add them hear....

Great tutorial! It looks like it works pretty well.

Your rotating arm that shuts off the motor is a whole lot better than mine, I can never get it to hit the switch that low and work.

One thing I try not to do is make a rod have to turn with a connecor on the end, it causes a lot of unnecessary friction. I would suggest changing this:

Oh, and it's brake, not break.
