we own 2 blasters, your problem is probably in the brake cable, dirt gets in right behind the brake pedal where the cable goes into the caseing, there is a rubber boot their to keep the dirt out but it doesn't seem to work all that great, you can try to clean the cable or replace it. you can adjust the front brakes at the lever, best, or at the wheels where the cable attaches, but if you adjust it at the wheels make sure to adjust them evenly or you'll get a pull one way or the other.

Your problem is your whole brake system. Blaster brakes suck. This could help you:
Rear Brake

A little expensive for my taste so i was thinking about putting a rear brake from a banshee, warrior, raptor...ect on mine???

yeah wicked pricy for me. ohh well today i took the caliper apart and the brake thing that the cable pulls on is stuck in the forawrd most position. i tried breaking it free by pushing the pedal endlissly but nope. i think im going to buy the hrdralic brake kit off of ebay. about 80 bucks. Very cheap. but still good working. and my front brakes, one cable is stuck. i sprayed brake cleaner into the cable holder thing and it will hopefully get freed!!!
