Cool build and speed video, Joe! As you likely noticed, the stock mechanical brakes on the IGT and IGT2 fade after about 2 passes with the speed you are seeing. I use the Kyosho STR sintered brake setup on mine - waaaay better (they still get smokin hot after a few aggressive stops, but they will lock up all 4 tires and work 10x as well as the inadequate stock brakes). The IGT was even worse(only had one disc vs. the 2 on the IGT2 - neither setup is anywhere near adequate for the kind of stopping power you need. :)
