brakes !?!?!?!

[KyoUltima]

No matter how much I tighten them, I can never get my sportmaxx to stop fast enough. Any tips ? I'm now thinking about buying a robinson brake kit.
Thanks

Have you tried the Traxxas Carbon Fiber disc? Very good hop-up for a decent price.

I went to a CF disc myself, and with the bic pen spring mod the brakes work much better now.

I've been thinking of gluing a very fine grit sandpaper or similar to by brake pads to see if that helps.

that's a great idea, thanks, i'm away to try it. :yes:

if you are going to do that I would use emory cloth it doesn't wear as fast... and the best way for you to get great stopping from a sportmaxx is to get the 4wd upgrade...

Try replacing the plastic tube with fuel line tubing. I've done that plus the rrp disc. The fuel line tube alone works great,
it' alot stronger and won't flex as much putting more pressure on the on the calipers and the disc. I did not replace my brake until it was very worn. Mine will flip upside down when breaking hard in the grass with my maxx mulchers on.
