The original 'green' disks that came with my car worked well for a long time, then I started to chase an off-power (light braking) push. I eventually realized it was the front brake causing the problem. I then changed EVERYTHING that has anything to do with the front brakes, but I could not get the problem to go away.
Eventually, out of desparation, I started to change everything again, one part at a time, and this time when I changed out the new brake disk with another new brake disk, the problem went away.
I recently switched over to the Losi 'heavy duty' brake disks (losa3542), and those have worked fine for me so far.
Since discovering this problem I have helped two drivers at my local track who had the same front brake problem, and I think I've identified at least one former Losi owner who probably gave up on the car because of this problem when he couldn't figure it out.
