Your most very welcome mate. I love Kyosho 1/8 and what you have done.

Mr Ford - Funny you mention brake pads. I ran OS engine with 2 speed and burnt off duel brakes first session back in the 2000 and ones with the Landmax. Got those stainless discs with some kind of fibre/heat proof lining on the disk, which I had to apply. I am talking when Tower supplied OZ with Kyosho parts.
I searched for Jville for the photo of the mutant disk, all burnt up and maggotted, but cannot find it. I wanted to show what the power of 2 speed nitro does to plastic brakes, let alone brushless!
Glad your here, both of you Kyosho luvin' people.

Not sure if you've changed brake pads, but I found the stock ones were a bit weak (of course I was slowing down from very high speed) but I'm switching out to the ST-RR pads as I hear they handle the stresses better. Looking for an even better option if someone has any suggestions though. Nice job though!

Those are GRP tires. I have been using those always in my GT and plan to continue using those as it is cheap nowadays. Half the price from grp store compared to that what they were when I bought those. I have been using soft (B) but those take quite a long time to warm up so I think I will buy ExtraSoft (A) next.

I have been using fibreglass disks with no pads. The disks I have used are stock disks from X1-CR-FT, X1-CRT-X1-CRT-RTR. Hong Nor spare part number is XT-16, don't know if the Jammin part number is the same. The mount is the same so no further modifications required.

I also used these pads and also on the front and rear center dogbone when using the 2-speed. It is also possible to use brake in front and rear on GT, it just requires long screws and as the rear brake goes too far away use old calibers and pads or something similar as a spacer.

I really like the brake force of fibreglass disks. You could even use these nicely enough with the stock Perfex transmitter. Brake force is better than with the stock pads but as there is no pads and fibreglass it allows a bit of skidding, so there is just a small amount of wheel locking if not at all. Most of drivers I know who are using the Kyosho acre pads, also use the ABS function. Which might not be good considering servo lifetime. Brake force with acre pads is awesome.

It would be nice to see a photo of burnt disk. I have also had earlier a Pureten Alpha which also had a plastic brake disk. I don't know what idea it is to use a plastic disk.
