Not braking

[Kenny81]

Hi guys

So I can't get my SFR1 to brake or the emrergency brake function to work.
Not using cruise controll.

Any ideas? =)

Hello Ken,

please upload your project file (*.sfr-1) and describe in detail what you are doing that makes you conclude that the brake is not working.

Hi buddy
Uploaded a picture of the settings

All in all the Road Train weighs about 20-30 kg
12V Servonaut motor.
Load regulations or the Inertia is activated.
Handbrake on only while standing still
Handbrake set at hard.
It seams like it brakes a little bit..but not enough to stop it by far.
When you run just the truck it locks the rear wheels when you pull the stick down.

But the funny thing is that it sometimes plays the braking sound when im going forward & suddenly brakes or locks the wheels..not sure why.

Sanwa SD10G radio & checked the parameters & they works to the full.

Hello Ken,

When you run just the truck it locks the rear wheels when you pull the stick down.

Since this works without trailers I think the mass with the trailers might be too much, so they push the truck even with the brake activated.
Try disabling the "Handbrake only on when standing" option and test if any of the settings (soft, med, hard) helps.

Otherwise consider adding a brake to each trailer, I am planning that for my trailers, too, so they don't get pushed back when reversing to hook them up. Don't have any particular solution for that yet though.

But the funny thing is that it sometimes plays the braking sound when im going forward & suddenly brakes or locks the wheels..not sure why.

Couldn't say what the problem is, a diagnosis would help if you need us to look at it further.
