Axle Posted May 23, 2014 Author Share Posted May 23, 2014 I imagine with 1500hp he's going to be running 15x10 drag rears, there's no way you'll get a good rear brake setup in with those wheels. I think you'll end up with n/a rear brakes Axle. Unless you plan to run a normal tyre? Exactly, 15 inch rears. Hope it now makes sense.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Exactly, 15 inch rears. Hope it now makes sense.. Not really - I understand the physical constraints but fail to see why you'd create such a scenario....then I'd never bother with silly HP. Meh...just buy a parachute.

pedrosixfour Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 What about converting the rear to an inboard brake set-up Axle? The confines of the rim are no longer an issue then. T'would take some fabricating, sure, but it's hardly impossible, and a proper balance could be maintained, as well as all the other advantages of such a set-up. http://www.minitruckinweb.com/tech/chassis/0612mt_custom_toyota_tacoma_chassis/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chazuk Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 The more I see this thread the more I think why? No brake fade, appox half the weight of normal discs ,withstand double the heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 No brake fade, appox half the weight of normal discs ,withstand double the heat The car is for the drag strip though, I believe, not the track. Parachute makes more sense when the limiting factor is the 15" rear wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JamieP Posted May 28, 2014 Share Posted May 28, 2014 Unless it's a track car I wouldn't bother wasting your money, for road or drag the normal big brake kits will easily over power the tyres many times mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
