I have a buggy with 8XL, MM, 12 nicads and road rages,

I have noticed no brake fade but I get only 10 min runs so maybe I'm not running long enough to fade.

I'm not running a track, just road bashing so its possible that i'm getting some Very minor fade but not noticeing, it will still lock em up all through a run tho.

What buggy is it? I set my MM brakes to 30% on the MM it will lock the lightest tyre, 40% locked all 4 road rages on my lightning 2 pro at 8lb 12oz.

Whats the temp on the MM? When I changed from the factory MM brake settings to 30% I stoped locking all the tyres, my braking distances got much shorter and my MM got about 10-15deg C hotter, maybe if your allready hovering just under the overtemp cutoff point at the end of a run it wont brake hard and push itself over the edge into thermal shutdown.
