Model Forum / Radio Controlled / Land Models / June 2004Savage 25 Brake help
Does anyone else with the Savage 25 have problems with their brake hub stripping the inside of the disc? I have gone through 2 of them already. Any ideas or suggestions on how to solve this problem?

After the first one stripped, I went with the dual disk setup that HPI makes and haven't had a problem in a few months (yet... knock on wood!). There are some other companies that make the same setup. One of them that I have heard good things about is ENVY Racing.... Here's the link: http://store.savagess.com/product_info.php?manufacturers_id=31&products_id=357 Other than that, I don't know what to tell ya... except to just replace it! Thanks for the link...I will give it a try...I can't go wrong with aluminum parts I ordered the brake kit that you sent me the link for. I should have it by Thursday. I will let you know how it works. I ordered the purple brake hub as well....which was highly recommended by the savage central store. Also, are your driveshafts starting to wear out the couplings?

I ordered the purple brake hub as [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] > George > Tampa Fl I'm definitely interested to know how that kit works out for you! I thought about getting it, but I opted for the HPI Dual Kit -- it was cheaper and my funds are a little limited!!! The shafts are starting to wear the couplings a little. I don't really know how to fix it other than to upgrade to the HD ones from HPI. I've heard (read on the forum) both good and bad things about them though!!! The Savage Central forums are great places to get info about the Savage... anything you want to know! Ken Newport News, VA you mean something like this http://www.marknowak.co.uk/images/ebay/wtf.jpg This happened on my first run round the park after breakin I got the HPI dual disk brake set and absolutely love it. It will flip the car easily ;-) I have now added a light spring on the link rod between the servo arm and the adjustor. This gives me now extremely controllable brakes rather than the on / off braking i had with the rubber tube!!! And no more brake fade too 8-) An excellent mod I have just ordered a Futaba 3PK-B PCM radio because i hate the one that comes with the savage 25.
