Ditto on the pads. Not sure about rotors. Last I had the mechs check, they said everything was fine.

As long as the rotors aren't vibrating during braking, you're probably fine. What makes you think you need new pads? Have you checked them or are they squealing? I'm not saying you don't, but just wondering.

I had to actually do some work today.

Kenchan, I borrowed a radio (only piece of equipment not in yet, should be here Thursday

) and raced for the first time Saturday. I didn't do well, but I wasn't horrible.

However, they're changing the track this week so now I'll have to learn a new track immediately.

JARblue · 05-28-2013, 04:01 PM

Btw I got an appt with RR Nissan tomorrow morning to inspect the headliner

kenchan · 05-28-2013, 04:01 PM

hahaha, yah, ive been working too. i visit here to cool my brain so that i can re-energize.

hey sounds

on the RC race.

yah, RC'ing is like a sport or a musical instrument. kinda rusty coming back from hibernation.

but at least you had fun, which is the most important part.

i lol at folks that get all mad when they f-up a race. they're not even close to being a team driver, and yet getting all worked up... for wat? lol

Squealing a tiny bit lately. I've had vibration when braking but apparently I'm the only one who can feel it.

kenchan · 05-28-2013, 04:08 PM

if im going to keep the G longer, i too need to swap rotors and pads. my car brakes fine, but the rotors have grooves in them now so im going to just swap the rotors and pads next time when the pads are done.

can you take a peek using a mirror tool and flash light? if you're down to about 3-4mm, i'd replace them anyways.
