Overview
The Traxxas Brake disc, front (82mm) in stainless steel is an essential replacement component for RC car enthusiasts across the UK who demand reliability and performance from their models. Whether you're a seasoned competitor running your RC car UK at the track, a weekend basher pushing your vehicle to the limit, or someone who takes their ready to run RC seriously, quality brake components are fundamental to safe operation and consistent stopping power. These front brake discs are engineered to replace worn or damaged originals, ensuring your RC model maintains optimal braking performance in all conditions.
As a stainless steel construction, these brake discs offer superior corrosion resistance compared to standard materials, making them ideal for UK weather conditions where moisture and salt spray can compromise cheaper alternatives. The 82mm diameter provides the perfect balance of stopping force and modulation for most medium to larger scale RC vehicles. This is a genuine Traxxas part, manufactured to exacting standards and designed to integrate seamlessly with your existing brake system without any modification required.
Supplied as a pair, you get two front brake discs that will restore or upgrade your braking system to factory specification. For anyone serious about maintaining their RC car in peak condition, having quality replacement brake components on hand is essential, especially if you regularly bash or compete with your model.
Key Features
- Stainless Steel Construction — The use of stainless steel ensures exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, rust and degradation from exposure to moisture, which is particularly important for UK RC enthusiasts who operate their models in damp conditions or near coastal areas where salt spray is prevalent.
- 82mm Diameter Size — The 82mm front brake disc size is engineered to provide optimal stopping power and brake modulation for medium to large-scale RC vehicles, delivering consistent and predictable braking performance across a wide range of driving conditions and speeds.
- Supplied as a Pair — Two brake discs are included in this package, allowing you to replace both front discs simultaneously for balanced and even braking force distribution, which is critical for safe handling and avoiding unwanted steering pull during deceleration.
- Genuine Traxxas Part — As an authentic manufacturer component, these brake discs are engineered to exact specifications and will fit perfectly with your existing Traxxas RC vehicle brake system, eliminating compatibility issues and ensuring reliable performance.
- Direct Replacement Component — Designed as a drop-in replacement for worn or damaged factory brake discs, installation is straightforward and requires no modification to your RC car, getting you back on the track or bashground quickly and easily.
Technical Performance
The Traxxas Brake disc front (82mm) stainless steel pair represents the manufacturer's commitment to precision engineering and material quality. Stainless steel is the material of choice for high-performance RC braking systems because it offers superior thermal stability, consistent friction characteristics across a broad temperature range, and exceptional resistance to the corrosive effects of water, salt and mud that UK RC operators frequently encounter. The 82mm diameter is calculated to provide the ideal mechanical advantage for most RC vehicles in the medium to large-scale category, delivering predictable stopping power that scales appropriately with vehicle mass and speed. Unlike cheaper alternatives that may warp, rust or degrade over time, stainless steel brake discs maintain their dimensional stability and performance characteristics through hundreds of operating cycles, whether you're doing gentle trail running or aggressive high-speed competition driving. The flat disc design allows for even pad contact and pressure distribution, maximising brake efficiency and minimising fade even during sustained braking or repeated hard stops. These are precision-manufactured components that have been tested to ensure they meet Traxxas' exacting quality standards, making them the trusted choice for RC enthusiasts who refuse to compromise on safety or performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will these brake discs fit my Traxxas RC car model? — These 82mm front brake discs are designed as replacement components for compatible Traxxas vehicles that use this size specification. We recommend checking your vehicle's manual or contacting our team at RC Model Shop to confirm fitment with your specific model before purchasing, ensuring you order the correct components for your RC car.
- Why choose stainless steel brake discs over standard alternatives? — Stainless steel offers superior corrosion resistance, making it ideal for the UK climate where moisture exposure is common. Standard steel discs can rust and degrade, compromising braking performance over time, whereas stainless steel maintains consistent friction characteristics and dimensional stability through hundreds of operating cycles, delivering reliable stopping power whether you're bashing casually or competing seriously.
- How often will I need to replace my brake discs? — The lifespan of brake discs depends on your driving style, frequency of use and environmental conditions. Aggressive bashers and competitors may need to replace discs more frequently than casual operators, but stainless steel construction extends service life considerably compared to cheaper materials. We recommend inspecting your discs regularly for wear, warping or damage, and replacing them whenever stopping power feels diminished or discs show visible damage.
- Can I install these brake discs myself? — Yes, these discs are designed as direct replacement components that install without modification to your existing brake system. Most RC enthusiasts can replace them using basic tools and following your vehicle manual's instructions. However, if you're unfamiliar with RC car maintenance, our experienced team at RC Model Shop is happy to offer advice or installation guidance.
- Are these genuine Traxxas parts? — Absolutely. These are authentic manufacturer components supplied by RC Model Shop, an authorised Traxxas dealer. Genuine parts ensure perfect fitment, reliable performance and compatibility with your vehicle's existing brake system, unlike aftermarket alternatives that may not meet the same quality standards.
