Does anybody know of any company making a Craddock style material brake for the savage ???

try GPM rocco or maybe fioroni. what size outdrives does it have, maybe some buggy ones will work. Try ur LSP ones and go from there.

no check to see how big the LSP one is to get a reference, LSP is like kyosho/jammin I believe with the bigger center where TTR and Mugen are smaller. I am talking about the actual size of the outdrive see if it fits, if its too big try a TTR/Mugen one, too small try a Kyosho one? or if there are any bigger than that on the I.D.

The savage uses a dumb azz hex shaped outdrive... Im sure i could overlap a couple cradocks and glue them up to fit the hex..

Glad you brought this up...I was just going to PM you about brakes for the Savage. I have a Vertigo CF disk...but man do by brakes suck. Is there something else I need to change? I have a CF disc on my Revo and it will flip over if you stab the brakes...the Savage will barely slow down.

i HAVE THE HPI dual disk kit which must just need replacing... It totally blows now... My truck literally wouldnt come to a stop on sunday... When i first put the kit on my truck would endo and do summersaults

Is your servo throwin far enough to squezze it down???Maybe its Slop at the pads???

The HPI DD kit is good for about 1-3 gallons, but then it wares out. You can buy the replacement orange pads (not sure what part # though) and that should help...Jeez what was the company that made some good ones....I can't remember. Mabye you'll get some better answers on savage central IDK.
