TBM Brakes..

[Marc W]

A word to all the dragster wannabes thinking about lighting up your car. TBM has light weight brakes for Hellcats. I know you look at them and question if they’re going to stop. 6.3 @ 225 mph with a chute failure. That’s not red paint on those rotors 😳. Somehow these got it stopped and did not damage them (according to him). He continued to go rounds and won. Not too sure your Wilwoods would come back from that.

Roasty toasty. It's hard not to end up w stress cracks later on when they've been that hot. That's a cool pic though.

Hmmmmm

Quite a few racers swear by them to get them stopped.

I sent them an email, I'm curious what their response is. There's a reason we went in the direction we did. Just saying...

; )

Also, to be fair, these are a completely different animal than what we're chasing. Primarily that these aren't street legal and are purpose built for drag racing only. I have no doubt that they are a good product for what they are intended for.

Cletus McFarland is a co-owner at TBM/Motion Raceworks, runs them on everything.

Yeah. No comparison. Drag brakes…. Hardly get used until the chute don’t come out and then they get overheated, and repeat again in hopefully never. 😂

They manufacture them in Bradenton.

I've seen a video of them somewhere along the way.

Cleet did a torture test on the El Camino a while back I think.

If you only need to do 1 stop, you can make the rotor and caliper much lighter than what you need and put a 3/36 warranty on.

Seen them fail after two passes on a hellcat recently. Pad completely destroyed and went metal to metal. Hopefully they get their stuff together for the heavier cars.

Made for racecars, not boats...

A friend of mine had them fail on his 300.
Before we go poking fun he ran 9.07 in 2880 da.

A friend with a fox body does drag week. He pulls a tiny trailer and they did not work he went back to wilwood. Said he doesn’t see how they would work on our cars

No one needs a race car. My street/show car is faster than most race cars 😂

I got a guy with a mustang that says you have a slow as street car. His name is Boost 12. He will let off at the 1/8 on a no prep small tire still go 7.0. Not 7.5-7.2 but 7.0.

My race car is now down to 3800lbs so you might want to recant that 😂
