Losi brake disc issue
A couple of weeks ago i installed the updated losi brake discs on my 8T 2.0. Last Saturday my front brakes would not release when when i got back on the gas. I backed the caliper screws out so the fronts weren't working and the problem went away(a long with braking power!). Just took the center diff out and the front disc has what looks like 2 spots that are blistered/ delaminating! It looks like a bulge and material is missing in these 2 spots. Any clue to why this is happening?

Sounds to me like you may have got a faulty part.?.(happens sometimes)
I've never had or heard of this issue before with the losi break discs (the black ones) de-laminating.
So it might be an idea to contact losi or take them back to were you baught them from and show them. im sure you will get a replacement.

I changed the pads and screws when i put the new discs on. I also added .5mm to adjust for the thicker discs. Never seen anything like this! I'm going to replace everything and see what happens. What do you guy's think of pad return springs! I've seen the answer, ofna, pen springs, and the losi shock springs(xx4 i think)?

Make sure the screws holding down the top plate aren't over tight causing binding to. Also the break cam can wear into the plate and cause it to stick.
