WIRC Racing GT4 Nitro brake disc

Italian manufacturer WIRC Racing has released a new larger brake disc for its 1:8 GT Nitro chassis, the GT4. This disc provides a wider contact patch with the brake pads thanks to an increase of 3mm to the total diameter, now at 34mm. This wider contact patch makes braking stronger but also more consistent and modulable. Wear of the brake pads is also more even and less aggressive so the pads also last for longer.
