hey,

i have a savy with dual disk brakes and at first they work great but after like 5 mins they don't brake at all. i first thought they needed new pads so i bought some and put them on and that didn't work.

now i realized that the screws are backing out what can i do to fix this?

Thanks,

Revo

dont know much about offroad or disc breaks but im guessing loctite can help those screws from backing out?

Red locktite is absolutely rediculous. I've seen people put too much of the red stuff and break treads trying to remove the bolt or w/e. The Blue stuff should work fine...and the green stuff is just weak.

huh get a new tranny case the threads are stripped OR
get some apoxy and put it in the screw holes then drill a bit out then put the screw in

this was happening to rcdevil so he just bought a new tranny case

All that I use is red and I have never had a problem with it.

i bought the hpi dual disc kit for my savage and found the braking to be WORSE than the single disc setup so i threw the dual discs in the garbage and reinstalled the original single disc setup.

now i have my single disc setup back on my savage it brakes very well .

imo i wouldnt ever recommend changing to the dual disc setup
