3,000lb wrangler =/= 14,000 truck. It's not a fair comparison. Ok, I'll play along though. One massive rotor made out of a high quality stainless, one massive caliper, and the most expensive racing brake pads you can buy. Tank of CO2, with a small sprayer manifold aimed at various points on...

I understand what you are trying to do, and it's a good thing. But, even with 3 rotors on the driveshaft (there's nowhere to mount them on the axles) you still have mechanical advantage against you. I also don't believe that the driveshaft, u-joints, or bolts could handle the massive amount of...

Seriously, do the math, it's not going to work. At 50mph the single rotor on your pinion brake would be spinning at 336 mph, trying to stop a truck that weights 14,000lbs. If you can afford reinforced carbon carbon brake rotors and pads to take the heat, you need to expand your hobbies...
