They were my first upgrade. Can't drive the car with only the original brake.
The front disc brakes will provide the braking that you want, if u use them to "tight" they will stop in seconds (lock the wheel), if u run them loose. the only help the rear one stoping the car.

They are a great upgrade. They will double your braking power. It will also allow you to put less stress on the throttle servo lessening the burn out/failure chance. You will need the following:
Front brakes. 6250/3 or 6250/7 - $140.00
Alloy front uprights. 6103/6 - No others. - $107.00
It is nice to have a 3ch radio.
Servo.

No, it's better than original, but nothing compared with front disc brake

If you have a strong enough servo, you can run the stock brake and the front disc's together. I am running a Hitec 5955tg and it does well with 333 oz/in.
If you have a newer FG M/T you can get away with out having to buy the alloy uprights, I did it on mine and I'm having good luck so far.
Check with www.largescalerc.com. I bought mine for $128 plus shipping.
Good luck!

And yes, they are worth the money.

I already have the alloy uprights so that no big deal.
as for the 3rd servo I can see the function of it other then having two servos for power.
If i run it in the 3rd channel in the receiver is there a way I can mix the channels so both 2 and 3 move with the same motion on the remote?
I remember reading something about this with my old 3PM radio but I now have a Spektrum DX3.

Yes, you can mix it to work great with the DX3. Thats why its nice to have the 3rd servo. I could crank the front down real tight if wanted and leave the rear less or visaversa.

When running front and rear brakes of a single channel, then all mixing has to be done mechanically, and you need the car standing still, in order to do that.
If you use a decent system and 2 seperate channels for front and rear brakes, then miksing can be done in the controller, and while driving....
My Leo brakes in around 1/3 the distance of what the used to be using.
If I previusly needed 60' to brake, then I can now do it in 20'
