The only reason I ask is I have seen some guys use the fibreglass avid type disc and leave the actual pads on and after a while these get superhot and bind up.
If using normal discs and pads, I suggest you ensure that you have about 3mm or more play inbetween the pads and the discs. i.e back the 2 screws off for the front discs and back the 2 off for the rear.
I usually have a lot of play here and use brake punch on my tx to jump to the bite spot on brakes when I just touch brakes on tx.
Hi,
I use the standard disks and pads. I believe that this may be a reason and therefore, I will follow your advise to leave them loose and have the Tx to do the job. However, I have to say that when we inspected it during the race weekend, everything looked perfect without any sign of bind anywhere.

One very hard race weekend later (All my freinds wanted to try my buggy
) and all diffs are good for another very hard race weekend & drivetrain spins very freely
Hope your able to get the buggy working, I am extremely happy with mine
Unfortunately, everything is super smooth in the drive train and spins very freely. I asked for confirmation from all the local experts.
This is a ghost
