Steel...upgrade from cast iron most stock rotors are.
The material is not that critical because it's not seeing any heat like a wheel brake would.

Good answer, keep them thinking. :evil
So the pinion brake is hand actuated, and only for staging? Factory location brakes slow the truck down still?

Hand actuated means that will be the "oh chit- handle" if he needs it to help slow down on the top end he will be able to grab the lever and apply some friction to help stop....as well as get bigger boost numbers holding at the line for the hit

:blahblah1: secret squirrel steel. That’s all I’m seeing from you.

It's a metal composition from Florida, so it probably has a little alligator in it somewhere. :hehe:

No wonder it has so much bite. :hehe:
Yes, the pinion brake is separate and stand alone. He has good traditional brakes, slowing down is not a problem.
The hand brake/pinion brake has it's own master cylinder. It's a heavy duty drift brake.
As for the rotor, it is just regular plate steel. It wont see any heat to mention because staging is it's only purpose.
I should have made that rotor out of aluminium! Save weight.

That turned out great! Ready to see how it works! I’m gonna have to be figuring something out for mine aswell. Can’t hold more then 10-15lbs before tires try to spin
