Key Features

• 6061-T6 Aluminium Construction — These brake calipers are machined from aerospace-grade 6061-T6 aluminium alloy, which offers an exceptional strength-to-weight ratio and superior rigidity compared to plastic alternatives, ensuring your braking system remains responsive and reliable even under extreme racing conditions.
• Blue-Anodised Finish — The brilliant blue anodised coating provides exceptional corrosion resistance and durability whilst delivering a striking visual appearance that complements your sand car's colour scheme and adds a professional competition-grade aesthetic to your build.
• Precision Machining — Each caliper is carefully machined to exact tolerances, guaranteeing perfect fitment with your Traxxas Funco sand car and ensuring optimal braking performance and alignment with your vehicle's chassis geometry.
• Complete Hardware Included — The package includes all necessary fasteners: 3x10mm screws (4 pieces) and 2.5x8mm screws (4 pieces), all supplied with threadlock compound to ensure secure installation and prevent fastener loosening during aggressive driving or racing.
• Threadlock Applied — All supplied screws come with threadlock compound already applied, which significantly reduces the risk of fasteners vibrating loose during high-speed driving or competitive racing, maintaining consistent brake caliper performance throughout your driving sessions.
• Left and Right Pair — This package includes both left and right brake calipers, giving you everything needed for a complete front brake caliper upgrade or replacement on your Traxxas Funco sand car without requiring multiple orders.
• Pro Scale Compatibility — These calipers are specifically designed for Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car models, ensuring perfect fitment and performance across the entire Funco range regardless of your vehicle's colour variant.

Technical Performance

These Traxxas brake calipers represent a significant upgrade from standard plastic components, offering superior heat dissipation and durability that will extend the lifespan of your braking system. The 6061-T6 aluminium alloy has been selected specifically for its excellent mechanical properties, providing rigid support for your brake pads and rotors whilst remaining lightweight enough not to negatively impact your sand car's overall weight distribution or performance characteristics. The blue-anodised surface treatment isn't merely cosmetic—anodising creates a hard, oxide layer that protects the underlying aluminium from corrosion, oxidation, and the abrasive effects of sand and dust that RC sand cars regularly encounter during off-road driving. The precision machining ensures that each caliper maintains perfect geometric accuracy, which is absolutely critical for consistent braking feel and preventing brake fade during extended driving sessions. The inclusion of threadlocked fasteners demonstrates Traxxas's commitment to reliability and performance, ensuring that your brake calipers remain secure and aligned throughout the most demanding driving conditions. Whether you're upgrading from worn original calipers or enhancing a new sand car build, these aluminium calipers deliver the performance and durability that serious RC enthusiasts expect from genuine Traxxas components.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Are these brake calipers compatible with all Traxxas Funco sand car colours? — Yes, these calipers are fully compatible with all colour variants of the Traxxas Funco Motorsports Pro Scale 8S 2WD Electric Sand Car, including the red, blue, orange, and green versions. The blue-anodised finish complements all colour options and adds a professional competition appearance to your build.
• What makes aluminium brake calipers better than plastic ones? — Aluminium calipers offer several significant advantages over plastic alternatives: superior heat dissipation which prevents brake fade during extended driving sessions, greater rigidity which maintains precise brake alignment, superior corrosion resistance when anodised, and enhanced durability which extends the lifespan of your braking system. For serious RC sand car enthusiasts in the UK, the performance improvement is absolutely worthwhile.
• Do I need any special tools to install these brake calipers? — Installation requires standard hobby tools including an appropriate hex driver or screwdriver to match the fastener sizes (3x10mm and 2.5x8mm). The threadlock compound is already applied to all supplied screws, so no additional threadlock is needed unless you're reusing fasteners from previous components.
• Can I use these calipers as a direct replacement for my existing brake calipers? — Yes, these calipers are designed as direct replacements for the original Traxxas Funco sand car brake calipers. Simply remove your existing calipers and install these new aluminium units using the supplied fasteners, and your braking system will be restored to full performance specifications.
• Will these brake calipers improve my sand car's performance? — While brake calipers don't directly increase top speed, they significantly improve braking consistency, reliability, and durability. Better braking means more confident cornering, faster lap times on track, and reduced brake fade during extended driving sessions—all of which translate to improved overall performance and better driving experience.
• Are these genuine Traxxas components or aftermarket alternatives? — These are genuine Traxxas spare parts, manufactured to OEM specifications and backed by Traxxas's quality standards. When you purchase genuine Traxxas components, you're investing in reliability, compatibility, and performance that aftermarket alternatives simply cannot match.
