Tire Spin

(1/7) > >>

Winterracing:
Hi,
I've been fighting a front brake problem.  The front tire only spins about 2 times with the tire on and the rotor only spins about 3/4 to once without the tire on.  I just wanted to know what everyone elses did. 

Thanks,

Are you saying that your brakes are dragging a little?

That's what he is saying.
He is having trouble with one brake dragging. I referred him to the threads on brakes dragging. Exchanged PMs with him about the problem.
I am thinking that the sliders are worn or caliper may be sticking a bit. The front wheels will never spin like they did on his go karts.

I've greased and cleaned the sliders.  I am going to put new calipers on, but just wanted to know how much others spin.  I also bled the breaks

I have had the same problem before. I have one that free spins and the other doesn’t no matter how much I clean. I know that you want it to spin and go eat dinner and come back it is still spinning but the reality is that is not going to happen on these cars. I did have a friend that used springs to help pull the pads back. He drilled a little counter sunk hole and attached a spring. Problem was that the tech guy didn’t think it resembled anything that was delivered stock but it did work……LOL.
