Key Features
- Genuine Traxxas Replacement Part — This is an authentic Traxxas original component, not a third-party replica, ensuring perfect fitment and compatibility with your sand car. Using genuine parts maintains your vehicle's performance integrity and protects your warranty status.
- 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — The calipers are machined from premium 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, a material recognised for its exceptional strength-to-weight ratio. This ensures the calipers can withstand repeated braking stresses whilst remaining lightweight, which is crucial for maintaining responsive handling in your RC sand car.
- Anodised Finish in Brilliant Colours — Each caliper features a hard anodised surface coating available in vibrant colours to match your sand car's theme. The anodised finish provides superior corrosion resistance, protecting the aluminium from moisture and dirt exposure during outdoor RC sessions, and extends the working life of the component significantly.
- Left and Right Front Disc Brake Calipers — This set includes both the left and right calipers needed for complete front brake system coverage. Having matched pair ensures balanced braking force across both front wheels, which is essential for stable deceleration and preventing unwanted pulling to one side during emergency stops.
- Complete Hardware Included — The package includes all necessary mounting screws: four 3x10mm fasteners and four 2.5x8mm fasteners. This means you don't need to source additional hardware separately, allowing for immediate installation once you receive your order.
- Pro Scale Sand Car Compatibility — These calipers are specifically engineered for Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Cars, ensuring they integrate seamlessly with your existing chassis and braking system without modification.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Brake Calipers represent a significant upgrade for serious RC sand car enthusiasts who demand reliability and performance. Manufactured from 6061-T6 aluminium, these calipers deliver exceptional rigidity whilst maintaining a lightweight profile that doesn't compromise your vehicle's overall balance or acceleration characteristics. The precision machining ensures perfect alignment with your disc brake system, enabling smooth, predictable braking modulation during high-speed runs and technical manoeuvres. The hard anodised finish provides outstanding protection against the harsh environment of sand car racing, where moisture, salt spray and abrasive particles can degrade components quickly. For UK-based RC car enthusiasts running brushless electric sand cars, these calipers work in conjunction with your electronic speed controller's braking functions to deliver progressive, controllable stopping power. The matched left and right pair ensures symmetrical braking characteristics, which is critical for maintaining directional control and preventing the vehicle from drifting or spinning during deceleration on loose terrain. Whether you're competing in organised RC events or enjoying weekend bashing sessions, these quality components contribute to a more predictable and safer driving experience.
