Made from t-6 6061 aluminum and weighing in at only 68 grams (.151 lbs), this e maxx braking system should work with little or no modification to your chassis. I don't actually have it yet, but I would like to hear your opinion on the design. I primarly made it to fit stock emaxx chassis, Ue chassis and torpedo/racebomb chassis. I'll probably find a way w/ the gorillamaxx as well. It is 2 inches long, and 1.375 inches tall. It compatible with the tmaxx braking system (braking post, braking nut). Only modifications needed for a stock emaxx chassis is to install a hex on the center drive cup. For the torpedo/racebomb chassis, there are 4 threaded holes for M6 screws (to provide very secure fit) that you will have to drill out of the lexan. It still a prototype, but it looks good so far. And you will have to program your esc to be foward only.
The purpose for this device is to eliminate a major percentage of stress on the esc. BK states (i couldn't find the post) that when the motor is put into reverse/brakes, it puts a ton more stress on the motor. If some one can find the post on this (where someone quoted what BK said) that would help alot. Thanks!
Just so you know what you are looking at, the 4 holes on top are the m6 screw holes. The center hole is for the tmaxx brake post. On the other view, the center hole is for the braking nut, the two shapes surrounding the hole are for weight savings, and the two small holes at the corners are m3 holes for the pressure pad mount.
