They haven't made them in quite a long time now. Might try ebay. That's the only thing I can think of.

If you had a small lathe to make the brake drum, looks likethe rest of it is just stuff you have laying around. A little brass strap and some linkage.

i have only got back into rc over the last 6 months or so, i was too young and didnt have the money to do all the mods and stuff last time i used them haha!

are they worth the hastle or should i just get a titanium vented disc brake, my friend has one and it seems a lot better than the stock one!

thanks for the replies!

I wouldnt bother with it... I mean, if you wanted to do a vintage build, just for the hell of it, I guess I can understand it. But these things never worked right, the stock disc setup is far superior.

thanks for the advice proanti1, i had heard good and bad things about them!

my brake is s**t at the min, bought a new system a while ago and it was spot on, not anymore though! is it possible that the bracket wears out after time? i have tried a new disc but no luck!

thanks

Titanium brake disc is nice. I actually had a bronze disc when I had my RC10GT. If you need a new bracket fir the brakes Losi Parts House has them. You can actually build a gt with all the parts they have.

i tend to buy everything off ebay, mainly RCBOYZ if they have the parts i need! i bought a mip clutch off losi parts house when i first dug my car out, couldnt find one anywhere else and i was melting spur gears like they were going out of fasion haha!

shipping always seems too expensive to the UK from tower hobbies and similar websites, especially when buying something that costs like $4 lol!

No, dont bother with an aftermarket titanium one, there is no point. Get yourself some sandpaper around 1000 grit, some really fine stuff. Lightly sand the glaze off each side, do it in a cross-hatch pattern. Do the insides of the pads too. This should make your brakes work better than new.

   Ok, you guys got me curious, so I made one of these brake systems. I do have a small lathe.  The difference I noticed is it's easier to feather the brakes without locking everything up. That may be due to the leather being new and not compressed yet. Have to wait and see.  I don't think it's worth spending a whole lot of time or money to get one.  I have 3 gts and the other 2 don;t need it.  I just do like proanti1 said and sand them. Works real well.

You must have bought some new old stock... because they haven't made these things since like 2005.
