Considering getting these for my Baja 5B, I figure since I'm building it for speed with a huge engine and fast gearing I should also build in some serious stopping power. Does anyone have experience with these? Are they worth it over the RAMtech cable disk brakes?

Also, should I replace the rear single brake with a hydraulic, install front ones and leave the rear one stock, or is it advisable to install all 3?

I'm not convinced by any front disk brake setups, seems they either engage or they don't, and when they do you loose steering. Not enough weight on the front to make it work right. Rear disk brakes might be better though, take the strain of the drive line. That and don't use them offroad.

ive been looking at these rear hydraulic brake kits for baja but so expensive , i want proof they work before buying this . ive seen a brake upgrade kit from hostilehobbies.com that costs 16 bux and its a tripple pad system thats simple to assemble. vertigo performance makes it

While I can see the advantage on a monster or stadium, or even a racing buggy, I don't see the advantage on the baja 5b to be honest. Due to the tiny footprint of the slim front tires, I'm not surprised they are either on or off. I can't see myself ever looking into brakes for the Baja like I have for the MT, the driveline brakes seem fine.

well in high speed braking alot of weight is transfer to the front . i can feather my braking with the trigger causing more or less pressure , i think its all in the set -up myself .. but i've been wrong many times
