Brake Fade?

some of you may remember my RC10GT had mishap which caused the throttle servo to seize up. I went out and bought a new futaba servo and rigged that up to work, however, it never worked seamlessly and I wasn't completely satisfied with the way the throttle was moving.

Anyways, i emailed Team Associated when this happened and never received a respone. But a couple weeks later, to my surprise a brand new throttle servo showed up in the mail for free!! I am really impressed with Team Associated as of now.


The Problem: since the futaba didn't work perfectly i decided to revert back to the servo they sent me. I put it on and it was just like stock and it worked perfectly. However, I am having trouble with the brakes. I have it positioned so that they are applied slightly at idle and release as soon as the throttle moves. When starting the brakes are strong and can lock the rear tires up. But near the end of a tank of fuel, they seem much weaker and the truck takes a while to stop

My question is: do these brakes naturally fade when they are used a lot and heat builds up? It has just a standard fiber disc brake
