Savage HPI stainless brake question.

Does anyone know if this: HB Steel Brake Hub will work with this:HPI Stainless Brake Kit?

My cup had notches wore in it pretty bad. Bad enough to bind and lurch around. The front one was worse than the rear, but the front cup is stock, so I replaced it. I bought the truck with this kit on it (stops on a dime with minimal effort), so I didn't realize the rear hub wasn't stock. So, now I have 2 heavy duty HPI cups coming in the mail and I picked up two standard stock cups at the LHS... so I'll have 3 to replace the front one with, but none to fix the rear one.

I'd rather buy the $9 part than buy the whole HPI kit. The disk are hardly worn as well are the pads. I couldn't find the cup only on tower. All I could find was the HB one.

Thanks.

i would guess so i dont. cause im guessing that the HB would just be steel i dont think they would change the disign of it so i think that it would go good to gethter i dont know though youll have to wait for more replys.

After looking at it, I don't think it will fit. I looks like the HB Dual brakes have the same size hole as the stock brakes. But the HPI dual brakes have a smaller hole... I wonder why they did that. They did such a nice job in design of the savage, then they go and do something stupid like this.

The steel HB brake hub is the stock size Savage hub. The HPI dual disk kit has a smaller steel hex included with the kit (which means smaller hole in the rotors)....it's a all-in-one kit.

Yups..

Sicj is right..

It doesn't fit..

The dual disks have got a smaller hex then the hotbodies has..

Are you saying you need to buy the whole dual package again just for the hub? Crying or Very sad

I bought the truck with the kit already installed, so I don't have instructions sheets.

Thanks for the number though.

It's kind of wierd that I can't find that part # at HPI's site. I just sent them an email.

I know it's kind of retarded as this part will probably be only a couple $'s less than the kit as a whole, but I don't need the kit.

ok whatcha do is go to the hpi website and look for instruction manual portion there. i know there is a dual disk brake instruction. look through that. the part number is there.

i am pretty sure of the number. just want you to double check yourself.

Very Happy

Good luck getting that particular part!
