| Brake/Rotor brass weights
I don't know if this is new thread worthy, but I haven't seen anything about them, and thought it was pretty neat that they will be offering this: VATERRA Brake Caliper/Rotor Weight, Brass; (2), ASN (VTR334021) | Horizon Hobby - Radio Control R/C Planes, RC Airplanes, RC Helis and Helicopters, RC Cars, RC Trucks, RC Truggys, RC Boats, RC Radios, RC Engines, parts, hop-ups, and accessories Now if I just had pics and knew the weight, it would be even neater. |

Yeah, interested to see a pic of that as well. Price is pretty decent if it is a substantial knuckle weight. I have to imagine that it is knuckle fixed since it says rotor and caliper.

Here is a pic of my test samples. These mount up to the Spindle. It's about an ounce of weight. Not a monster amount but it does make a difference. The idea was to keep it scale while offering some performance advantages. I plan to paint a set to make them look more scale |

Rich, while I haven't bought an Ascender yet, I can say that you and Vaterra are doing an incredible job with this platform. You're bringing new ideas and new life back into the scaler world that it needed. Thank you for everything you have done with this platform and I can't wait to see you one up yourself with the next one. |

I am really loving Vaterra. I just won an Ascender last Sunday and I am impressed with the R&D that has gone into it... amazing. |

Rich, and correct me if I am seeing things, but it appears that behind that rotor is an aluminum steering knuckle. Am I seeing things?

oh man. i am intrigued on those lower links. Rich, are the weights compatible with the stock knuckles? or you need to get the alum parts for it? i want the brakes for sure, but don't care much about glossy alum. |

Can anyone verify if you need the upgraded aluminum hubs to use the weights on the rear also?

I don’t 100% know for sure as I don't have them but read that you need the aluminum spindles or else you would have to modify and get creative.

Would just mention that on the bottom of the Horizon page it says each one weights 27 grams Wonder if these can be modified to fit a SCX knuckle? |
