Redcat hex is 22mm, baja is 24mm. The Redcat can run the baja rear hexes all around, either way you need new wheels or new brake discs made for the smaller 22mm hex.

Why can't the stock brake be run again? I thought it was in the front of the diff opposite the gear. I guess motor clearance is a concern with the motor mounted up front? Can we get a pic with the stock brake disc in there?

IMO it's time to figure out the target speed and do some math to determine what the size of the gears will be to see what will fit with the stock brake. Unless of course you want to adapt brakes at each wheel anyway.
