Modified r/c booted brake discs on 2.0

[Rep732]

So i bought the booted brake disc from modified r/c. They fit on the cups fine but the stock brake hardware seems to be interfering with the discs. Bolts aren't long enough and the springs are touching the discs...yes I know its for v1 but im up for making it work.. if i put spring tension on the screws the discs are tight. If i loosen theres not enough engagement in the nut past the nylon lock...do I need to run the springs? I know on cars there's some manufacturers that use springs to push the pads and some that don't.
. Any thoughts

Paging @crucialRC ...brake question!

Why is it no one posts pics so that everyone knows what a person is talking about.

 

[Rep732]

There's not enough room between the disk and the shouldered bolt that the spring rides on...the spring hits the disk and causes friction not allowing the disk to spin freely....happy @1Coopgt

 

[1Coopgt]

So why is it called a booted brake disc?

 

[Rep732]

You can now put grease on the center couplers...i made the decision when i was unable to keep my hand on the front shaft trying to get a stick out

looks like the disk is to big to me ? I might not be seeing it right

 

[Rep732]

Its a v1 part on a 2.0

Its a v1 part on a 2.0

and there ya go ! sorry , you could leave the springs out and let them float

 

[Rep732]

@buzzkill idk if you own a variant of the 5t but 90% of the parts are interchangeable....if it really bothers me I can get the disc machined down the .010" ....its so miniscule

 

[crucialRC]

I have the Modified RC center diff mount. I didn't use the springs and I had to use longer threaded bolts.

No I don't , ya looks like it needs to be machined really

@crucialRC thanks for the picture....i took the springs out and used red locktite for the moment. Did you have to shave the radio tray by the steering servo? I see my boot contacts slightly....in the instructions it says to do so...i know the instructions say to do so i just want input! Feed me

The v1 doesn't have a pad on the brakes like the 2.0 does, thays your difference

 

[crucialRC]

Not at the steering servo but I did have to trim some at the battery tray. I don't read instructions?

The v1 doesn't have a pad on the brakes like the 2.0 does, thays your difference

? I don't remember. Those are the brakes that came with the center diff mount.

 

[Rep732]

I can buy the RCR copper brake pads ....modified r/c left an awful lot of machining marks in the rotors so they catch very easily till the pads wear them flat

 

[Seandonato73]

1.0 brakes.

 

[Rep732]

Ahh v1 brake discs are thick like these....ill have to get v1 hardware

 

[Seandonato73]

Well at least I know I cant run 2.0 pads on my 1.0 ?
