i used to run the craddocks, I hated them worst brakes i ever put on my car. Tony D said the same thing; JUNK IMO

allan42r · (#327 (**permalink**))

let me know how that works rocco, i know mugen has different pads but i was also looking to get rid of them heavy disks, rotating mass.

i also have their clutch bearings. There great how there rubber sealed and all. These ones ive had on for 2 gallons now and theyre still going strong.

u should change them at a gallon i change them every week just to be safe

ya i was thinking about that too al, the steel rotors are much heavier. I know kyosho makes fiber pads that are hella expensive but last a long time

oh i never knew that

yep the disks are heavy. i think with the stick on pads, mugen or kyosho will have a brake that hits hard.

allan42r · (#333 (**permalink**))

on the bearings, when ever i pull the motor out i change the bearings, to clean it or change shoes, for 2 bucks it seems like a small price to pay after spending how much time and money to go race for the day .

motoxer4life · (#334 (**permalink**))

so when you use the ttr brakes do they fit inside of the stock guides?

Casketman · (#335 (**permalink**))

Stockers myself. I had the Avids before and well I know some here saw what happened to them. I never had any braking power with them. First race,they were fine. After that,just all down hill.

The stockers have held up well for me. I have seen someone else making CF disks. Amain has them up in the mugen hop-up section. I will try to find the link and post it here later.

yeah I run avids through out my buggy I am running stock losi pads on my 8ight and havent had any issues with fuel or fading mine are also dialed out..

motoxer4life · (#337 (**permalink**))

But the losi ones arent aluminum like the mugen

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#338 (**permalink**))

u cant run the guides with the ttr brakes. all they do is create drag anyway

motoxer4life · (#339 (**permalink**))

so what do u do just dremel them or something?

Czech-it-Out Graphics · (#340 (**permalink**))

ya I dremel the ones off my TTR, when i was running chad's mugen for a little while i left them on with the TTR discs and didnt seem to have any issues, but u dont need them

motoxer4life · (#341 (**permalink**))

alright
