when stopping at 160mph how many passes do you feel these rotors will last?

I'd like to know this as well as pad life. I've never had anything with drag brakes before......madman....tell us

Lightweight is all nice and dandy but when dealing with over 2 tons you need mass to stop. For 1300 it would suck to pay that amount or close to it every race

Just to save 80lbs now if these can last a season that isn't so bad

[madman]

I dont see a problem if you take care of them lasting a season. I have a couple 4000 lbs Camaros running them and we have seen any issues with pads or rotors. Obviously with someones truck running over 150mph the NHRA/IHRA required parachute would make everything last longer.

As for chute...i know cars require one at 150 and what is it 2 around 200

Now would you use two on say 4400lb truck at 160

[madman]

Actually Stroud recommends a single at your weight and speed.

Alright...and that wing you have on Travis's truck are you gonna put them in production

I'm trying to figure out how it could cost you $1300 a race even if the shit wore out every time you went out. The wear parts are not the expensive parts???

[George C]

youll see it says 1300 or around that...figuring those rotors and pads would wear fast, which wouldnt be cheap

next wear item id be worried about is the bearings if they arent up to par for the stress and weight of the trucks.


if this product is proven im interested just up on fence on forking 1300 over and have to replace how often vs stock vs 85lbs

You've got a ways to go if your worried about $1300. If $1300 is a big deal on your drag truck, there are much better places to spend it first. Although, aside from just cutting sh*t off, $1300/85lbs is a bargain when talking light weight replacement components. Thats about $15/lb. Find me another light weight (replacement type part) mod, that will net you $15/lb......

Not a Texan so i don't roll around in bank..I gotta save up to buy parts so for me to spend 1300 I'd like to know roughly wear and replacement figures if all is possible.

I'm sure many others are wondering the same
