I adjust the brakes in a center diff RC like this.. With the engine not runing but radio gear all on pick up the front just off the ground and roll the car back and forth while slowly pulling the brakes on the controller. you will be able to see (if the wheels lock) and/or feel when then the rear brakes are grabing and how much they are grabing. Then pick up the back of the car and do the same to feel how much front brake you have compared to the rear and adjust them until they feel decent. Ther is no sure fire way to set an exact brake amount.
For sure experiment with the brakes. ret more rear brake, then 50/50, then more front brakes. Most everyone runs more rear brake or 50/50 becuase it will give more steering while on the brakes. heavy front brakes causes the front tires to lock and you have no steering at all.
