HPI nailed it with mechanical brakes on this Buggy!

X2 Freddy.

Will save a few esc's I am sure.

honestly i like it without the mech brakes, on the track you barely use brakes so it really just adds unnecessary weight.

 

[Pope]

This is a very good point.

See, now ive heard the opposite / you use your brakes more on the track than bashing.

I myself haven't raced but ive heard racers say that brake bias is essential to tune the brakes so you can drive it hard into turns, use your brakes, control your steering and then hammer out of the turns to give you faster lap times.

Brake bias is prolly why Revo pwns Savages on the race track.

On that line of thinking, it would make sense that HPI capitalize on it and add mechanical braking as an advantage over other b/l buggy's.

Must come down to personal preference of the individual racer :dunno:

 

[super nub i drive traxxas]

not sure where you're going with this, but you can just buy or make a 2-1 adapter and stack your batts in the tray.

vorza and ve8 prob use a similar (if not same) tray.
