Question: Allison TransBrake? Would you buy it?

[McRat]

In second gear, you can bring the truck up to full power with just brakes. You probably won't hook up, but you can do it.

 

[Brayden]

With 3.42's and 3.73's yes. Not with 4.10 or 4.56 gears

 

[McRat]

Naw, second gear launch is way high (1.81 vs 3.10), so ring and pinions aren't relevant until you hit 5.89 gears.

But there is a need for a trans brake for more predictable launches.

Get it to function, list a price, and I'll run one in Casper.

 

[Rhall]

Any updates? This would be sweet, this could help my launch a ton. My trucks brake pedal loves to just go to the floor while launching.

[TrentNell]

Talked to Brayden today , looks like he may have something availible within the next 3-4 weeks , sometime in the begining of January . Hopefully just in time for me to go to vegas for some shake down runs :cool2:

Chicken :chicken:

Yeah I wanna see what the testing says. Would be great for consistency, but I see the potential for broken parts, especially on heavy, high hp trucks. I'd love to try it, I don't think I have the hp to utilize it though

[JMK777]

Time to stock up on axles , half shafts and drive shafts. I cant wait to see this thing in action

I dont see spooling a s500 as a single being a issue for trent let alone as part of is twins


and ya your a chicken

Keep the chassis preloaded with the brakes and use the trans brakes as a ditional holding power , it shouldnt "shock" the parts like it would normally

 

[Builtlngbd]

interesting to see what comes of this and would be great if everything checks out

 

[JMK777]

Suncoast recently resurrected their transbrake VB project putting it on there shop truck (510 hp) for testing. Results were promising, worked just as you've described above--valve body has since been removed and sent to an unidentified racer for real testing.
