their replacement calipers weigh in at a massive 0Kg - apparently

Cooo! those brake pipe clips are heavy.

0.3kg each

Are these the new helium filled cast ally with liquid helium as the brake fluid?

I think the clips are uranium filled nylon to stop the brakes floating away

I'd reckon that those brakes would be slight oerkill on a 7!

And some people are building whole cars for less than the cost of those units!

But if you built your whole car out of this material (is it unobtaniuim by any chance?) then you power to weight ratio would be... err lets see....

BHP/0 = infinate ?

yeah!!

and wy vented discs with suchs calipers??

Solid is the way to go!

Tks

its just the fact that they have

the grip and the brake power to stop that fast!!

for us its front end grip wich we donīt have!! and then the sierra brakes are overkill!!

Tks

A formula 1 has a much better balance and allot more grip!! than that we do!!

its not just better or more powerfull brakes!!

if we build the brakes of the F1 on a seven we cant stop anybetter!

we would lockup the brakes when driveing 100Mph and braking hard...

the F1 comes down from 300Km/h thats allot more energie to stop and thats the reason they have suchs weight overpowered brakes.

kinematic energie = Mass x Velocity^2

so.. the F1 needs them!

Tks

Hi you havent got the hang of this locost racing they never use the brakes every where is flat out whith 90 bhp. Even cadwell you only use them 5 times per lap.

Some people dont use them at all when there is another car infront . But they have now all been told to go race else where.

cheers matt

Christ, they're selling M16 calipers for Ģ130 each. That's about Ģ90 more than in the shops!
