Fullforce baja brakes anyone?

@Thrasher, why wouldnt you want to stop as quick as possible weather bashing or racing?

considering how quickly mine comes to a full stop I fail to see any real world benefit unless your chasing '100th of a seconds'.

IDK what your talking about but the stock brakes are absolute trash imo.

My stock brakes work instantly. But my servo is putting out 444oz of torq though. I’m sure the stock servo is around 180oz

I feel the same way about my stock brakes on all my rigs. I think they work great too. But I am using excellent servos with high torque #s to pull the linkage. I even bought a RCR brake kit for my 5ive-B but have had no reason to install it yet.

My point exactly

I'm running a 25kg servo. I'm not sure if I need more.

Put a hitec 7954 on it and don't look back. Your better off having a quality servo than grippy pads. Ive never had to replace stock brakes ever. That servo will lock them up.

Well ill get both. Sevo and breaks. Stock brakes never lasted long.

Depending on the RC I'm using depends on the setup. All linkages are setup to engage at a slight pull of the servo. My 5ive-B endpoint setup like my 8th scale race cars and don't fully engage for a complete lockup because of my style of driving. But my Vekta is setup to lock on a short throw because of its size and weight. And my Savox 0235's do a great job at 486 oz-in on a 2s lipo??

I can see your points on the bigger servo, just my thought is with better brakes you wont be as hard on the linkage or other parts, and stop better jmo

 

[DougStar]

I just bought

Savox 0235's

But for steering ?? I want stopping power my losi has hitec 840 and I like my wheels to lock?? hpi has the savox
And with the rcr brakes the back locks up like no tomorrow ??

In racing the breaks are set up so they don't block. Its all about how the weight is moved around a corner sciencey yada yada so spending real money on brakes makes a lot of sense. But I just need to come to a stop. Sometimes very quickly. The rest of the time its full throttle or go home. edit. And I think that you are right about servo power. Maybe a combo of good pads and power to pinch them.
