BRAKES: This sub-menu gives you access to the following settings: · Strength: you can make your braking harder or softer · Balance: You can distribute the braking power evenly or direct more force to either the front or rear brakes. STEERING: This is where you can adjust the sensitivity of the controller: you can pick from a scale of 7 values to adapt the controller to your driving style.
