Those are the brakes that I'm using and I haven't had any problems with them. They might be a little too tight and the pads are rubbing up against the rotors and is causing excess heat build up. Just a thought you might want to look into. And oh yeah, welcome to the forum.

Yeah, check the two screws that hold the whole assembly together. They might be screwed in to far and that's what's causing the rubbing. When I was working on my truck I made a little change to the way they are mounted. Next time I get my truck out, I'll try to get a good pic of what i did. If I can't, I'll try to explain it the best way i can.

It does try to roll only due to the fact that the shocks are real stiff. Working on that issue right now. Also, haven't had a chance to run it with the cen wheels. When I got them, one of the rims/tires was opposite the other three.

Glad you got the brake issue worked out. I have the proline 23mm hexes because I also have the proline commando beadlocks with moab tires.

the rods!
not the servo.
good lord.
upgrade your brakes
run a stock steel disc and a carbon disc.
use the stock hub, run with the discs back to back, no pad in between.
run 2 steel pads on the outside with the one against the carbon pad having the soft brake pad attached, don't use the stock hub, switch to a full force aluminum hub, change out the stock servo horn/linkage set up with an OFNA linkage kit.
part numbers from tower for the ofna parts-
10724, 10704, & 10731
i have pictures if needed

ok thanks ill look for it.
Believe It Or Not I'm Still Running The Stock Brakes On My Savage X! I Was Having Problems But Replaced The Spring On The Linkage With A Small Piece Of Fuel Tubing Just A Bit Longer Then The Spring! And Then I Realized I Need To Tighten The Caliper Screws.(ESPECIALLY THE TOP ONE FOR SOME REASON IT LOOSENS MORE!) Went To Stop And Almost Flipped Over Lol! Well After I Put The Hump Pack In It Did! So I Just Turned The Brake Adjusting Screw To Calm My Braking Down A Bit! I'VE BEEN RUNNING IT LIKE THIS FOR ABOUT 4 MTHS NOW! 4 MTHS AND ABOUT 17 TANKS OF FUEL!!
