X eng prop brake

[andyrew]

I fitted a prop brake on to the tin top so im no in
Need of another tbox brake.

I thinking of going for the x eng set up but remember these
Having bad reviews years ago. Anyone able to share their
Experiences?

If you've bought one would you bother again?

[Jordi]

Dan and Scottie run them. Fairly sure they both have good reviews.

Im fitting one in my rebuild.

[andyrew]

Did you get yours new? Thae price is the bit that puts me off
I don't want to shell out for something thats just as good
As the standard drum.

Im in two minds of finish or breaking the thing
So would like to keep costs to finish it down.

[ScottieJ]

They work very well......after a few modifications, also there are two cables available for them, make sure you get the one that is actually flexible as the routing isn't very good and it needs to go around a tight bend, if you have the stiff cable it causes release issues.

Buying mine second hand. £100

Cheers guys.

The replacement pads seem a bit pricey for what they are

Il keep an eye on fleabay for one then. If not ill
Track down as drum. im sure richard must be inundated
With them come to think about it

I've put a drum on mine and its a lot better than the samurai axle handbrakes
Richard sorted mine out for me

[ScottieJ]

The standard drums are good unless you are in mud a lot, then they need to be adjusted quite often.

I bought one new aaaaaages ago, but I still haven't gotten around to fitting it!

I bought a new x-brake, price seems a lot, but worth it. Does need regular adjustment if used on constant deep mud winch challenges but overall a big yes from me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
