The Nitro RS4-3 kit comes with that silly plastic disk. I would scrap it in a hurry. You can go with the HPI fiber disk, or if you feel like spending the dough Hot Bodies makes a kit with a thinner (but slotted!) steel disk and some nifty pads that should stop that thing in a heartbeat.
I almost bought the HotBodies brake upgrade, but opted for the HPI carbon disk instead (less than half the price), and I have to say that I'm VERY happy with the performance of the Fiber disk. It stops my car from high-rpm 2nd gear to stand-still in about 10 feet (it also dramatically out-brakes the hopped-up NTC3 my roommate runs).
Why would it take the shop 2 weeks to fix your car? Just go pick up the part and install it yourself. You gotta learn sometime, or this hobby is going to be very frustrating. Hell, building/fixing is half the fun!
