baorevo Posted September 22, 2013 Share Posted September 22, 2013 Theres a lot of debate over this expensive setup and that expensive setup .........i ve heard em all i run these or the equivelant ferrodo style brake pads http://www.ebay.com/itm/High-Performance-Upgraded-CNC-Brake-Pad-HPI-Baja-5B-5T-5SC-KM-Rovan-1-5-Silver-/171132813709 now im not a rovan or clone fan , each to their own, live and let live n so on , but they just work wonders. no fade , stop on a dime or at least lock the wheels and are very hard wearing , i have them on my heavy 5t and still no bother..........no gimmicks n carbon and so on just old fashioned car style brake pads.

itsme93 Posted September 28, 2013 Share Posted September 28, 2013 (edited) Fitted them this weekend, but not had a chance to run it yet. Will let you know. Feels better just testing on the bench...but the only real way to find out is to run the car and see how she stops! Good luck buddy I am getting a baja 5b soon I'm dreading brake problems let us know how it goes also have you got any pics of her. I have heard so much about nitros infamous baja. Just never seen if Thanks Rob Edited September 28, 2013 by itsme93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nitroholic Posted September 28, 2013 Author Share Posted September 28, 2013 Good luck buddy I am getting a baja 5b soon I'm dreading brake problems let us know how it goes also have you got any pics of her. I have heard so much about nitros infamous baja. Just never seen if Thanks Rob Which one ..... the normal basher...or the shorty? This is the 'normal' length HPI one: Hostile MX's front and rear on Silverback wheels. Darksoul axle extenders and hostile rear uprights. IRC upper and lower braces on the front plus an RPM front bumper. Turtle front tower brace plus GH supports in black so they look like stockers Motor is a ported 29 with clone Dom. And this is the 'Shorty' KM one KM001 with chassis chopped right back, FG axle converters, FG truck wheels, custom radio box, aircraft fuel tank, fibreglass bug shell and a home-made rollcage. Motor is a CY 4 bolt 27.2 with clone Dom. The RCR kit is on the normal car, the other car is running stock brakes for now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
