(-:AD:-) Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 (edited) they can. they use a double sided servo horn, your back brake/throttle stays the same, and your front's come off the other side of the horn, so when you brake it moves the rod into the cylinder(crating pressure, pushing the pad's against the disks). Mechatech are the best you can get. I love mine. Dont get a cheap set as they leak, are a pain to blead, and you cant get replacement parts. If they leak it makes a mess over your car and if t leaks at the disk then the pads will get saturated and fall apart Edited November 29, 2014 by (-:AD:-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atom3624 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Do you have an alloy servo plate? If its still the stock plastic one, this flexes a lot - extra bracing can work. The stronger the servo also, the better - I use a Savox 1230 500 oz in at 6V. You will need to keep adjusting slightly regularly to keep the balance just right. I have tuning brakes front and rear on my 18 kg FG MT. It stops just fine. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
(-:AD:-) Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 you dont need a alloy servo plate.. he's on about a hpi baja. you do need a decent servo.. I use a savox 1256tg (20kg). Prob the best for front brakes. I dont have to keep on adjusting mine... once set up about right they last. Until the pad's start to wear.. witch is a long while.

atom3624 Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 Post #3 was on about FG cable brakes and the stadium truck, hence my reply. I'm aware the original post #1 was about HPI thanks. Al. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bodgemonkey Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 As above. Run a double sided servo horn and a fail safe on your throttle servo. You may need to trim the roll cage for the linkage. Nearly finished my Digi 4 throttle servo conversion on my Baja with a LiFe battery to allow a whole load of torque to be applied to my brakes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
