Hot Brakes

[XxENovaxX]

Hot brakes... Hot brakes... Cool bug.

[ronaldfdoculan04]

@XxENovaxX hahahhaha!

[dtutka]

my peugeot 306 disks are also glowing in winter cause the handbrake wire is frozen

[xazns0ulx]

sexy

nice leb sled

Your Brakes Goddamnit

[FlameHazeist]

HOT DAMN!

[jobnoy]

Some of these comments are priceless!

[AntDX316]

pro, he used the whole track

[getmeblad]

Shame there isn't a nice ford to drive through LOL! Ignore me, I'm just warped (no pun intended).

[Delici0usable]

wakefield..?

[siralexu]

abs and esp will melt normal brakes very fast

[princephilip123456]

should have stopped right there because it will warp the rotors and in some causes where its warped under high speeds like that the warped rotor will damage caliper

[JTV84]

@princephilip123456 if you stop right there, the caliper/pads will cause localised heating/cooling of the disc, leading to warping. you should do exactly the opposite of that and keep moving until it has had time to cool down.

uhh pedal brake for front brake and hand brake for rear brake

[stampede1027]

@omgsean1 really.. the pedal works all 4 wheel brakes.. the hand brake is a drum brake in the rear.

[streetracerm5]

Cool!

[Plisken1986]

Wow, those are REALLY hot.

[Plisken1986]

@JTMarlin8

Not gonna disagree with ya there.

[spazracing94]

this is how you tell if your going fast

[ripsnorting13]

LOL

[frankster262]

@spazracing94 well this how u can tell ur going fast but dont want to excelerlate so u brake a lot

[spazracing94]

@frankster262 it goes hand in hand

hahah thats what i thought

[spadgm]

Go the scoobies!

IT SLIDES PERFECT On the ROAD

It is true, rear brakes do less braking than front brakes. So they generate less heat. I know a lot of brakes, therefore I am participating in this exciting video contest related to brakes. Look for my video here typing "Mechanics, be careful when you dick around!" and if u like it, vote for it.

[LCSnigga]

how bout on semi trucks. i change my 4 drive brake pads about a year and a half, trailer 4 1 year, front drive bakes i cant remember ive had this truck 4 3 years. and these are cheap brake pads. diferent style but all backwards huh

[whity98]

semi trucks are huge. you dont want all the braking happening in the front unless you dont want to have brakes for much longer. the bigger the load the less front breaking there is.

[Totenhosen17]

I think the ratio is around 60 40 front to rear for most cars.

[mooseling1]

It is probably more than that, as the front brakes will be more powefull (i.e larger discs, more pistons, drilled or ventilated discs, or a simple disc brake while the rear are drum brakes) but if they were the same brakes on the front and back, then the front would still be much more powerfull, so combine the natural stronger force from the front brakes with the better brakes on the front, and you probably get more like 70-80% front (I based all this on personal knowledge, i might be wrong)

[ferraris26]

@mooseling1 You need to keep the front brakes more powerful because under braking, the front wheels will have more downforce, so more grip and the braking will be more efficient. It also avoids the tail going out of control . Even non EBD cars have P-valves, if the car is not so small..

[mooseling1]

@ferraris26 I personally dont race cars (yet..) but i cycle a lot and cover 500+ miles a month and i have hydraulic brakes on my bike and since there is no ABS, EBD and a lever per brake on a bike with powerful brakes the rear one braking as much as you can (to the point just before it skids) has a 4 or 5 times longer stopping distance than the front alone, as apart from in wet or snowy conditions you are confident the front wont skid.

[ferraris26]

@mooseling1 I don't race cars either but I do drive them a bit...a car's dynamics are different from a bike...you don't have to worry about flipping over in a car :D

In a car, the engine is up front....usually...so that is one of the main reasons.

[angrygunsmith]

@jgm30a dont older cars with hub brakes on the back work only on the front brakes, and even newer cars iwth disc brakes all around only use the rear brakes when stabilising the car, like traction control am i not right?

[drivefast6969]

wow

[citi0rhythm]

work better when its glowing~~ how come the rear won't glow at all?

[bakedlayzattack]

most likely the differential. that is, the braking system is set more toward braking with the front brakes , or that the forward momentum along with the turning causes a higher level of friction. could also be the result of that combined with the weight or downforce in the front

[EpicGamer2]

Rear brakes do less braking than front brakes. So they generate less heat. Also, it is not a differential that splits the pressure, it is a proportioning valve.

[BSed31]

hey baked, differential controls acceleration not braking.

front brakes always do more braking to help ensure understeer/oversteer dont affect handling, but this is all depending on the drivetrain of the car whether it be FWD, RWD, AWD. the rear brakes rarely get hot enough for you to see any effect

[4B11T]

u gotta remember that when braking the weight transfer goes to the front.. so this usually makes for a 70% braking on the front brakes and 30 % braking for the rear brakes.. but after a while, they do start to glow lol.. but by then the fronts would have caught fire! lol!

[cazybeast2]

performance parts at their best :)

[squareyes1981]

very cool moment well captured

[trbolvr]

nice!

[alberto8899]

good shot!
