sorry to contradict you Edward but the wav only uses the brakes as a parking brake and emergency brake
when turning the controller will reduce and eventually reverse the direction of the motor on the inside of the turn.
the early brakes with two pads used to crack easily.
make sure the "cam" is installed up the correct way on the brake
otherwise the brake will drag
WAV motors get warm but definately not hot
when you installed the NEO motors did you update the software
or did you have a newer truck
