Title: 10" brake disc
Post by: amr5080 on November 25, 2010, 11:17:41 am

I tried searching and couldn't find anything. I know Ron's Rocket parts makes a 10" disc that used a sprocket hub. Does anyone else make one that you can use the standard MCP hub with?

Thanks for the replies. I really don't think I'll need any more stopping power since I'm adding front brakes, but I guess every little bit helps. I run Burris 12x8x6 kart tires on my pro-x, and ride height at 4". Will a 10" disc work?

It would ride 1" off the ground...

Squidd that's true IF the tires actually truly measure to 12 inches and not persay 11 1/2 because of low pressure

I run a big 10" from EC.  Works great.  If I remember correctly they are pretty close on the price that APS has.

Depending on rim width it will probably be hitting the ground, you will be fine with the 7" on the rear with front brakes, I think that is what George runs

ok tim i also run 16s but was wondering if ya might have pulled it off with the 13s. but i do agree after having both rotor setups, i will never go back to a small one with the big tires
