Hi all,

the Thruster set up?

Thanks

Gary Taylor

This is the original;. Just refining a bit to lighten & simplify construction.

What do you think?

I have an X Air Hawk with black max disc brakes. The brake lever is on an extended P1 control stick. I will post some pictures if anyone is interested.

Another brake option

?

This is what I designed and manufacture for the Xair H (Hydraulic). A new hub was also made to take the pressed alloy rims and the disc drive plate, the Idea is to save weight and to tuck the mechanism into the inner rim, the wheel assembly would also move inboard approximately 25mm reducing the bending load on the axle.

Photo 3 shows the standard commercial setup, work well but clumpy and difficult/impossible to fit spat
