RE: Fading Brakes
So what happens is, for every time I run the truck, the distance to make it come to a complete hult from a WOT is longer and longer. I still have stock brakes, using the same 5 cell battery as before. 1st fet times I ran it, it would flip end over end if I did the brake too hard. Now, it just comes to a slow stop. DOn't understand...

Ya, even the XRC review on the truck noted that the stock brakes fade horribly. Switch the pads, to the Team Losi hi performance brake pads. They will improve the performance of the brakes, and drastically reduce fade during long runs. They wont lock up, and chatter anymore either.

RE: Fading Brakes
I'm going to change my stock brakes to ones with the Hi-Perf brake pads, and the Cradock discs. So...how do you get the pads and discs off!?! It seems like a simple job. I took the mechanism apart, undid the two screws that seem to the hold the brakes in place, but still can't get them off. Is there some trick?
