brakes

[Oh Gee Jay]

ok i bought the duel disk brakes for my savage 25 and i play with them a couple of time maybe 4-5 hours and they stop braking hard and when i do jumps cant bring the front end down these are the 2nd pair are there better brakes out there that will last longer

 

[Combuster]

are they the stainless steel or the red fiber disk

 

[Oh Gee Jay]

stainless steal

 

[Combuster]

i have never ran those but everyone seems to have problems with the pads not lasting too long and breaks fading right away. if i were you i would switch to the dual red fiber because they perform a lot better.

 

[Oh Gee Jay]

ok i just got these because they are the only ones i seen at the local hobby shops but i will check ebay thanks Max Basher

no problem thats what the forum is here for.

make sure you're using the correct brake pads if you upgrade to the steel brakes. that will make a difference. i had the upgraded kit on my 3 speed and really liked it, personally. if your brakes are good at first but then you notice some fade, don't forget you can adjust the brakes by turning the screw on the outside of the chassis (it's connected to the brake, if you're unsure just turn on the receiver and radio, and hit the brakes... it's the line that moves) towards the back to help give you more brakes again. i find i tend to adjust that a lot, no matter which set of brakes i'm using. it's a big truck. takes a lot to stop it. lol.

 

[Oh Gee Jay]

yeah I'm always turning the knob on the side of the truck for more brakes and the pads i was using are just the ones that come with the stainless steel kit but I'm just going to try the red brakes

yes The Red Fiber Ones Are Better!!

 

[Oh Gee Jay]

are these the right brakes they are not red but i had some blue ones like this in mine before i changed to the stainless steel... i couldnt find duel brakes

 

[Jim 18]

nope, this is what they're talking about. these work good, but a couple hard impacts can potentially cause them to shred... or split down the long ways. lol.

make sure you get the bigger output cup for the shaft cause the inner size is different on those sets of pads!!but the red fibre are alot better and a good up grade also good to have a spare set of pads with you cause a hard impact does still break these as well!!

I installed the stainless ones to and I love em. they work great at 1st I was able to do front flips. then they kind of loosened off. I just removed the 2 screws and lock tight em and there good again
