thats just what i heard LOL:eek:
any upgrade is better than stock, but for bashing are they really needed
on the occasions i have been to off road race track i will admit some front braking would be nice
to keep the back end in check abit into corners
but then i could always brake earlyer and in a straight line :D

So when the 4WD conversion comes out will front brakes be less useful? (assuming that the front wheels will not be on a one-way system)

should still help as you come off the throttle to brake theres no engine braking
then nail it again and the 4wd should pull you round

KP Designs hydraulic disc brakes. mark 3 version come with big metal brake discs with improved diameter for more braking power, u can also opt. for carbon brake disks.

i think the hydraulic disk brakes are a must especially for stopping when u really need it. when i can afford it before 4wd conversion comes out i would like to install rear disk brakes as well.

the only thing that puts me of hydraulic set-ups is the dam price its like buying a full-set up for a full-scale car[X(]




peace
