At my track the three best drivers are always in the top 3 spots.

I mount my transponder over the hole where the reverse servo used to go.

I run disks that are made for the 8ight T. Do not attempt to use these type of brake setups for bashing or with servo's that have less than say 180oz/in of torque. That being said they have the most linear and easily modulated braking action I've ever felt.

This worked great but then glazed over, I went back to stock 8ight T brakes. I think this one would be fine if I went back up to +30 on my exponential along with some other linkage changes I have made recently.

Thanks for the info, but its not gonna work it does not have that hex pattern, and i only have a stock 80oz servo for gas brake, its the same from the muggy steering. but not from the muggy. Do you know any good brake pads that are good, and have that hex pattern?

i did the whole unglue the tire from the rim thing and belive it or not it actually worked i boiled the rim in water for and hour and when i took it out the rim basicaly melted off the rubber so i saved a tire!!! the rim was what was cracked i knew i could find a rim before tonight but i douted i could find the same one's as the others...........guess what......I FOUND IT!!!! at a lhs about 5 miles away i already mounted and glued the new rimits bein drying for about 2 hours and i wont be at the track till about 2 hours so 4 hour dry time is ok i guess hopefully it doesnt crap out

tonight is race night!!!! so im one happy camper plus since i have my own personal trasponder now this is gonig to be very exiting!!!
