Mini 4WD FRP Rear Brake Stay Set

The Hobby Hideaway Verdict: Take Control of the Slopes! If your car is soaring too far off jumps or losing stability on steep inclines, it’s time to talk brakes. The FRP Rear Brake Stay is one of the most critical upgrades for any racer moving beyond a basic kit build. At Hobby Hideaway, we consider this the foundation for technical track tuning, providing the perfect surface to apply brake sponges and keep your machine from flying out of the lane.

Precision Speed Control This wide FRP plate is designed to sit low at the rear of your chassis. By applying different thicknesses of brake sponge to this stay, you can create friction against the track surface as the car tilts upward on a slope. This momentary drag slows the car just enough to ensure a level, controlled jump and a predictable landing. The wide surface area allows for various sponge placements, giving you total control over how early or aggressively your brakes engage.

Key Features & Technical Specs:

• Enhanced Stability: Increases the rear surface area of your car, allowing for more consistent braking performance.

• Large Mounting Surface: Features a wide area specifically designed for the application of 1mm, 2mm, or 3mm brake sponges.

• Durable FRP Construction: Made from high-strength fiberglass reinforced plastic to withstand repeated impacts with the track surface.

• Tuneable Height: Includes washers and spacers so you can fine-tune exactly how close the brake sits to the track.

• Universal Compatibility: Fits most standard Mini 4WD and PRO series chassis (AR, MA, VZ, FM-A, etc.).

Hobby Hideaway Pro Tip: Tuning your brake height is a game of millimeters! Use the included spacers to get the stay as low as possible while still maintaining the mandatory 1mm ground clearance required for racing. If the track has a lot of "Table Top" sections, try placing your brake sponges further toward the back of the stay for a later, more sudden braking effect. If your car is still bouncing too much after the brake engages, consider pairing this stay with a set of mass dampers to pin the car down on landing.
