wow
A .30 in the short savage. Man that is going to be fun.
I've got the same motor in an XL based rigged. I've only
got about 10 tanks of fuel ran through it so far.
Is there still a problem with the brake pads tearing off
with that brake set up?
Tell us how the brakes perform, been thinking about doing the same thing to my rig.
what CB and spur did you use?
And what starter system you using?
i have same engine and chassis, i am using a losi spin start back plate. I have not yet , but have to mod the bulk head to get my spin start shaft to line up with the opening.
The SS brakes were pretty decent but you have to be pretty careful not to get them wet or fuel on them. I personally never had a problem with the pad tearing off but I know a lot of people had. I eventually went with the dual fiberglass pads. Those were good brakes for me though, worked well for several years. I also have a LRP .30 in mine... but it is extended and very modded so a big heavier. That HAS to be a fun engine in the truck too. At 10 tanks you are only starting to see the potential of the engine.
There is one draw back to stainless disc just like the ones one motorcycles when water gets on them they don't stop very well.:whhooo:
I built an X SS years ago for a buddy and we put the dual disc brakes on it.
I can't remember how often but i do remember installing new brake pads very very often on that thing.
I'll be putting the fiberglass kit on my setup shortly.
I went to the fiberglass on both of my Nitro Savages and i like them....a bit touchy but really stop you quick. E-Bay Link
TY Andrew,
was just wondering, it has been recommended to me that i use a 18T clutchbell and 47T Spur since i still running the 2speed trans.
So I am on this site trying to get an idea if the info i got was in the ball park
The fiber brakes stop much faster than the SS brakes. Actually they are a bit grabby and you need to be careful to not do front flips. But all in all they are a good brake set-up since there are no pads to tear or wear out. You get a tube of grease and lock tite with the kit. Grease is for the dogbone going into the brake hex.
For stopping power and long lasting, yes way better. I would think they should last darn near forever since the rotor is what wears you are correct. Also they will fit any model of Savage.
No problem brother....that is what I am here for. I just happen to know Savages pretty well too. ;-)
Yes RR is good stuff but I normally run the standard stock and have no problems. Now If you do decide to go Robinson be SURE to get a good quality hardened bell to go with it. If you don't the spur will eat it in just a few tanks. I did that one...oops.
