My new brake system

[xtremsavage]

I kept on tearing up the pads on my dual SS disk brake system and none of the LHS had any replacement pad sets, so, one of the shops had this set-up. He ordered it for another customer who never came and got it. The disk and calipers are from Hardcore Racing and I believe the hub is to, not sure though. The disk is almost 5mm thick and vented. It's real beefy. The calipers are made out of Ti. and are 2mm thick. I installed everything, thinking that because of how thick everything was that I would need to leave the screws a little loose and I was wrong. All I needed to use from the existing set-up was the 2 screws and sleeves that slide in the calipers. I still left the screws about a 1/4 turn loose to give some extra play. With the SS brake system, my EPA was set on 95 for the brake side and now it is set on 55 and they lock up really tight. I may end up having to go lower with the EPA. I'll let you guys know how they do once I get a chance to run them. Unfortunately, the parts are all discontinued, well, on Tower Hobbies they are. You might still be able to find them somewhere. Here's the pics all mounted up. I forgot to take pics before I mounted them.

That's sweet! Keep a eye on the hub if from HR... Check its size and see if anything else can replace it if it starts to go on you B4 it takes the disk out. I cant find any of their stuff anymore. Did HR punch the out of biz key ?

I may be confusing hot racing...

I have an older stock savage brake hub and it also fits the disk. So I already have a back up if need be. I'm probably gonna run the truck here in a little bit if I have time.

thanks for posting that Jason. I tried looking up the website that's printed on the package, but it wasn't found. After I try it out, if I like the how they work, I might order some extras to have as spares.

I'm pretty sure you can use the older version savage (21 or 25) brake hub. Not 100% sure on that though. If you don't have one that will fit the disk, let me know cuz I've got an extra one.
