Frt Brakes for a Smartech Bigfoot
Can anybody list the exact parts I need to put front brakes on my Truck? I read all the brake post and it seams I will need Alloy hubs as well as a brake set but I want to make sure before shelling out money for the wrong parts.
Thanks
Thanks

RE: Frt Brakes for a Smartech Bigfoot
This set from Hobbythek should be perfect:
32581, Front disk brake with alloy steering blocks Euro 199.00
This is a cable brake.
Found in their shop under Carson Spare Parts.
Hobbythek: http://www.rc-car-online.de
Else, most any FG Alloy front hups for the Marder and front brakes should fit(Cable or Hydro).
The one here, that sells Large Scale Smartechs worldwide from Australia, He may also have those parts. Sorry, don't remember his name.
Smartech Bigfoot=Carson Comanche.

Wow, that converts to $255us or $340 Australian! Plus shipping! I think I can convert the whole front end over to FG and use their brakes for less. Thanks, I guess if that is the only option I will hold off a while longer. My buddy has a Marder, I might try his uprights to see if they bolt right on. Plenty of EBay Marder brakes out there.

The only guy over here I know is Colin at Chequered flag racing, closer to you than me JD. 
I think I will try my hand on Ebay or import them from Over seas.
