Default Fitting a brake disk

Hi, I ordered a Mega-P MXT S2 (it will come next week and I can't wait) with the new upgraded steel brake disk and the pads too whats involved to fit it. Do I have to strip the whole front end down??

the brakes are actually in the center of the rc....off the center diff. or transmission..I dont have that truck..but your most likely going to have to remove the center diff or transmision to install your upgrade

Hooley......

Remove the linkage....

remove the 4 screws from the bottom of the chassis, and the whole Tranny assembly comes right out.

not difficult at all.......

so I did make the right choice cos I am a upgrade nut and I will get the other upgrades first it'll be the tuned pipe then the Aluminum Shocks. However, I did though ask Eddie if there will be CV UNIVERSAL DOGBONES for the MXT S2 cos most nitro trucks have them as upgrades and he said that he'll definately make the suggestion.. If they do become available I'll be the first to buy them..

Hooley......

I'll be right behind you!...I am a Sucker for Upgrades/Mods....

Although the MXT dog bones/driveshafts ARE Captured at the Hub, and I have had absolutely NO problems loosing dogbones...lol.

My MXT-2S has been very reliable, and I have found Very Few things that are actually in NEED of Upgrade....
