[TowerTalk] Slipp-Nott

[Bob K6UJ]

Jim,

I have a T2X  and so far no problems other than the brake sticking syndrome where you briefly have to turn 
it to the opposite direction for a tad then turn back.  I understand this is common with the T2X's ,     Havent had a broken brake 
yet,  I am very conservative about letting it coast to a complete stop before releasing the brake paddle.  
What do you think caused your broken brakes ?
