now for the pics





-------------------------

i have tested them out with both the axial and the picco which is now stage2 and with both motors it is sick with stopping power, i put 4 tanks with both motors to see how it would stand up and all i can say is wow.. if your willing to drop 50 on the brakes then its well worth it IMO.

You didn't put a brake pad between the rotors? Interesting idea.

its plate, pad, disk, disk, pad, plate. in that order.

no more middle man to ware down the disks

-SomeGuy-

I have this setup, it came on a truck i bought off ebay and its great. Better than the HPI dual and without the middle piece theres no worry about wearing anything down with time.

Why have 2 discs with no pad in the middle?
Wouldnt it be better with a thicker disc or another pad?

Think about it...it's more like a real car disc brake setup now. Nothing extra in the middle to wear out and you have the pads pushing on the outside.

Now python...is that how the instructions say to assemble it, or just how you wanted to do it?

Honestly I think the single fiber disc brake on my S-25 works better than the dual stainless brake setup on my X SS. The S-25 is much older and still on the original brakes. My X SS has 1 gallon on the dual stainless brakes and they're dead. Pretty long time, but I'm no longer impressed.

I had a pair of those but i could never get them to work for me so i trashed them and went with a set of HPI dual brake discs which are very nice

Nice to see you back. I was wondering where you went. Did you get bored or just have other stuff to do?

My Feedback: (1)

yea that's how it tells you...



i tired the fiber, i tried the single maxx fiber, the stock stainless..... these out of them all are the next best thing to me, from making my own mount to make it have brakes front and rear.

also if u take a good look at pic here


the cut out on the disks go face to face giving it that venting, so they stay nice and cool.

nahhh money got tight, and i got sick, so i took a brake from rc and went into gaming for awhile..... i have way to many hours on my games....... but once i saw the new xl it gave me that feeling what rc always gave me so i came back.... going to the lhs to get the rest of the parts, and be back with some videos.... only with the axial for now..... have not got around to putting it in the truck.

Is the larger hux hub required? Sure looks like it is...

-SomeGuy-

Yeah it is. The stock hub would be to small.
