Mounting instruction for
Item N°. 6250/2 Front disk brake
for Leopard/Pajero/Marder Race, set
Reasonable disk brake for the front wheels, suitable for the 1:6 scale models Leopard, Pajero and Marder
Race.
Perhaps the steering stop of the front wheels of the model Pajero has to be reduced a little as the wheels
may rub at the body when driving into curves. But this also depends on the size of the mounted front wheels.
Using this brake the throttle/brake servo should have a minimum regulating power of 7-8 kg in order to
achieve the required brake power. If you want to use the disk brakes for the front and rear wheels we re-
commend to steer each brake over a separate servo. If you own a lower-priced radio control system you
need a Y-cable, at high-quality radio control systems the third servo is steered over a third channel.
Mounting
Pict.1 Mount the parts as shown on picture 1. Important! There are two different versions of brake shafts
8459/1. When mounting these into the brake caliper 8455 the flat side as well as the boring for the brake
lever 8461/1 must show to the outside or rather to the brake linings
8457/2. Now screw on the plastic guiding plate 8462/6.
Pict.2 Press the brake lever 8461/1 into the boring of the brake shaft
8459/1 as shown on picture 2 and fix it with the headless pin M3x3.
Mount the bowden cable holder 8462/2. The eyelet of the brake lever
should align with the boring of the bowden cable holder. Now pull the
bowden cable flex completely out of the bowden cable pipe and screw
the bowden cable pipe with the threaded connection into the bowden ca-
ble holder. Push the bowden cable flex as shown on picture 2 first into
the eyelet of the brake lever 8461/1, then through the washer, pressure
spring 8463, bowden cable holder long 8462/2 and finally completely in-
to the bowden cable pipe.
Pict.3 Now install the brake linings 8457/2 with the brake disk 8458.
Press the linings slightly together with the brake disk in between. Then
lay the M3x20 hexagon socket screw on so that the brake disk can still
be moved freely. Before mounting make sure the brake linings are free
of glue residues, if necessary remove them with a file or knife.
Pict.4 Mount the brake bar 8093 on to the front shock bar. Fix the bow-
den cable pipe as shown on picture 4 into the borings of the brake bar
8093. Important! Install the bowden cable pipe in alignment to the bor-
ing and press it slowly in with left/right rotations. Switch on your radio con-
trol system and bring the throttle/brake servo in centric position, the ser-
vo arm should be 90° to the servo. Mount servo rods 8461, balance
8462/5, collets 8465/6020 a.s.o. as shown on the picture.

Adjusting the brake
Both brake disks should be turnable with the joystick(transmitter) in neutral position.
Both brakes must pursue an equal braking effect on to the disks. If the braking effect
is only one-sided, the corresponding bowden cable has to be tightened slightly at the
balance 8462/5, therefore loosen the collet 8465. Should the braking effect of both
brakes be either too high or too low, loosen the centric collet 8465 at the balance and
move the balance 8462/5 either backwards or forwards.

If necessary rebend
the servo rods.
Check square sparing in the
brake disk on burrs, remove
them if necessary.
The brake disk must sit loose,
not jammed on the square.
Adjust about 0,5mm clearance
between upright and brake
disk.
If you mount disk brakes you should only
use strengthened plastic servo arms or alloy
servo arms (see recommended FG Tuning
parts or FG main catalog).
