Smoother Stopping
When testing the Mad Crusher, I found that the brakes work very well—almost too well. If you’re not careful when applying the brake, the truck can actually tip up on its nose. The brake lever itself is pretty short, and the reduced throw applies the brake quickly. I softened the feel of the brake by lengthening the brake lever as far as it would go. The longer throw required to apply the brake will increase the brake range and, therefore, make the brakes less aggressive.
