Fire Hammer front disc brakes
Hi all,
I have a Smartech Big Foot 1/5 23cc MT which is exactly the same as the Duratrax Fire Hammer. I have been driving it for a year now, it is grate but lacks serious stopping power. The car is light with little tire traction and the only brakes it has are for the rear wheels and so it like to look the rear tiers.
I want to install front disc brakes, mechanical ones since the hydraulic brakes are too much $$$ for me.
I could not find any brakes that are made for this truck, the closest I found are brake for the FG MT but they are very expensive and I don’t know if they will fit my MT.
Does any body have experience in this subject with the Fire Hammer and can spare a few tips and links to shops or manufactures that build this brakes?
Thanks

RE: Fire Hammer front disc brakes
cable brakes for the FG will work on the firehammer they set up just about the same way on all the offroad FG duratrax and smartech vehicles
