I posted this in the "other manufacturers" forum but figured it would get more views here and since the Rovans and KMs are basically the same its still relevant.

Was running my Rovan Baja when one of the brake pad pins came loose resulting in the loss of the pin, brake pad and bushings.

Does anyone know what size the brake lever bushings are? Will the HPI bushings work? Will the Vertigo triple carbon brake kit bolt right up?

BTW Anyone know where to get Rovan parts in the US?

Thanks!
 
get ya some fast eddy flanged bearings for that brake lever pivot, of course i popped out the old solid brass one used a round file to round the shoulder to match the hole, it has a lip that keeps the OLD bearing from spinning, and pop in a fast eddy flanged bearing in its place, and also use one on the lower plate too. works a charm and tons better than the brass ones which wear and cause wobble of shaft.
 
Yea I was considering that. I'm just not sure if the HPI bushings are the same size as the Rovan.
 
supposedly km and rovans are the same in stock, now aftermarket added stuff may have differences, but as stock should be all the same, but i would get the fast eddy bearings, just bout every bearing on my t100 i replaced with them, not cuz they were bad, cuz FE bearings are waaay better than stockers, i still have the old ones to use in a pinch if needed tilli get another FE one to replace one with.
